Press Release Summary: The Southwestern stage play by David Miguel Estrada launches
July 25


Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA, June 15, 2008 -- Desert Road Publishing is
pleased to announce the July 25 launch of David Miguel Estrada\'s "You Ain\'t No
Johnny Cash." To purchase or preview the play visit www.desertroadpublishing.com or
www.davidmiguelestrada.com.

"You Ain\'t No Johnny Cash\" is the story of Cody Luther, an aging country singer who
cut short his career in the 1980\'s and left for Mexico after his wife cheated on him
with Willie Nelson. Luther moves back to his hometown of Lubbock, Texas, where he
reconnects with his ex-wife, Diana May, eventually rekindling the romance they once
had. After a brawl over a jukebox song, Cody is forced to attend court-appointed
therapy sessions. Does he actually suffer from clinical depression or is he just a
lonely old country singer?

Show Business Weekly hails Estrada as a "maverick writer-actor-director."
NewYorkCool.com describes him as "multi-talented." \"Very good\" writes the
Albuquerque Journal while the Austin-American Statesman calls Estrada\'s work
"...engaging throughout."

The playwright has had seven New York productions of his plays including his solo
piece \"Reflections,\" which was performed at Lincoln Center. His last production,
"God, Man, & Stan" premiered in Los Angeles and is also slated to be published later
this year.

Estrada explains, \"The main character, Cody Luther, is an old-school country singer
in the vein of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, or Merle Haggard. The only difference
is that he drops off the scene. What resonated with me about this story was the idea
of a popular country singer bowing out at the very peak of his career.\"
