Live at the Louisiana Hayride: Johnny Cash & George Jones [Box]

Performer: Johnny Cash
Engineer: Darren Osborn; Charles Smith
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Based in Shreveport, the Louisiana Hayride was a famous radio and television show that regularly featured the biggest established and upcoming stars in country music. This two-disc set features Hayride performances by George Jones and Johnny Cash culled from the show's glory years. Indeed it's hard to find more iconic country figures than Jones and Cash, whose resonant voices and utterly distinctive styles helped define the genre. This 33-track package offers rare, irresistible live performances by the artists in their prime. It also captures the charm of the Louisiana Hayride series, acting as a tidy nostalgic time capsule as well as a great set of music.

Johnny Cash was part rockabilly rebel, part campfire storyteller, part outlaw in black. Cash made country and rockabilly history on the Sun label in the 1950s. During the '60s, the ruggedly charismatic Cash rose to superstardom, ending the decade with both his marriage to June Carter and his own television show. In the '90s, Cash began his highly successful and acclaimed AMERICAN RECORDINGS series, reaching a new audience with an amazingly diverse set of songs, ranging from traditional tunes to alternative rock covers. With his lean, angular sound and hearty, passionate baritone, Cash forged one of the most unique styles in all of popular music, one that delved into gospel, folk, and rock, but also remained the essence of country music. Four months after his wife died, Johnny Cash passed away on September 12, 2003. And in 2005, the Oscar-nominated biopic WALK THE LINE brought Cash's music and legend to his largest audience yet.
