Description

Unreleased until 1964, Original Sun Sound of Johnny Cash captures the essence of Johnny Cash's journey, spanning both his first and final recordings for the label following his departure from Sun Records to Columbia in 1958.

The early track “Wide Open Road” showcases Cash still under the influence of Hank Williams, featuring the rare steel guitar of A.W. “Red” Kernodle, who left the group shortly afterward. In contrast, the sardonic “Thanks a Lot,” penned by Charlie Rich and recorded during one of Cash's final Sun sessions, highlights Cash's independence.

The album also includes Cash's self-penned gospel song “Belshazah,” an unusual choice since his producer, Sam Phillips, typically focused on secular material.

This release is remastered from the original tapes to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its release and features some of Cash’s hits, including “Big River,” “Country Boy,” “Born to Lose,” and more.

Available on translucent violet vinyl.

Available to pre-order now.

Released on Friday 18th October 2024.
