When It’s Not a Font

I am looking for the font for the title Ring Of Fire, which is the musical about Johnny Cash. The logo looks like a grunge or distressed typeface. The image has appeared on troupeamerica.com (the page for Ring Of Fire is no longer available on Troupe America's website), http://explorealex.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/rofslider.png, https://www.theatricalrights.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ring-of-fire-banner.jpg en.wikipedia.org, http://www.chattnaturecenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Ring-of-Fire2018.jpg, and other sites that have hosted the musical. I'd like to be able to recreate the logo.

I'm afraid this was handlettered, not a font, as you can see for the repeated letters (they are different).

In addition, RING and FIRE was painted as Gothic Condensed (Sans serif)  typeface and OF as a Latin (Serif) typeface.

Anyway, if you need a starting point to recreate it:

RING / FIRE: http://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/fontbureau/fonts/garage-gothic

OF: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/nicksfonts/indubitably-nf/
