Annotation	Inspired by Johnny Cash, the now deceased country and western singer, a "slew of ageing crooners" are pursuing their desires and reinventing themselves as serious musicians. This short article reviews the careers of, amongst others, Tom Jones, Glen Campbell, Leonard Cohen, who have successfully re-entered the popular music scene, often in collaboration with younger musicians, after an absence that could have been construed as "retirement". (KJ/RH).
