Johnny Cash – Sings The Songs That Made Him Famous (CD)
Product Details
Cash at Sun Records was lightning in a bottle, and this album caught it at full voltage. Recorded during his peak creative run with the original stripped-down lineup before the band expanded to the Tennessee Three, the sparse boom-chicka-boom sound that Perkins and Grant locked into here became the rhythmic DNA that countless country and rockabilly artists would spend decades chasing.
Never released on CD, originally released in 1958 on Sun Records, Johnny Cash's second album was a smash success, with singles such as "I Walk The Line", "Guess Things Happen That Way", and "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" shooting to the top of the charts and earning Cash a reputation as one of country's greatest songwriters and performers. The Man In Black is accompanied by Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant, known at the time as The Tennessee Two. The album was produced by Sun Records founder, Sam Phillips, and Jack Clement.
