Editor's info:
Johnny Cash was the first artist to fuse the sounds of country, gospel, rockabilly and storytelling with a string of unforgettable hits and stark lyrics with an unabashed attitude. He wrote moving songs of love and loss, sung in a voice which is not only unique in the field of country & western, but in all of popular music. This CD edition contains his greatest studio recordings from the beginning of his career, including both his thrilling debut albums for the Sun Record Company, With His Hot and Blue Guitar (1957), and for Columbia as well, The Fabulous Johnny Cash (1959). All of Cash's famous tunes are here, including "Folsom Prison Blues", "I Walk The Line," and "I Still Miss Someone." The two albums have been re-mastered and packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 5 bonus tracks from the same period.

"Johnny's voice was so big, it made the world grow small. Listen to him, and he will always bring you to your senses" - Bob Dylan

"These early slices of earthy rockabilly represent Cash's best period, as the totality of his work stands as a testament to his genius over half a century. But 'I Walk The Line', 'Folsom Prison Blues' or 'Cry Cry Cry' are the foundation stone" - UNCUT magazine

Also including:
16-Page Booklet
Rare Photos Vintage Memorabilia Detailed Liner Notes
