I Walk the Line and Other Hits

Performer: Johnny Cash
Producer: Mark Pinkus (Compilation)
Distributor: WEA Strategic Marketing

Notes: Audio Remasterer: Chris Clarke. This collection of ten of the best of Johnny Cash's early releases for Sun Records, recorded between 1955 and 1958, include one of the first songs he ever wrote, "Folsom Prison Blues," penned when he was still in the Air Force, his first significant hit, "I Walk the Line," and the crossover country/pop smash, "Ballad of a Teenage Queen."

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.
