Another one of the greatest mid 60s Columbia albums by Cash, with a proper CD release! Orange Blossom Special is probably the most successful of Johnny's LPs in which he balances the profound influence of Bob Dylan with his own rough hewn style for something wholly unique. Cash covers 3 of Dylan's ... read moreCD
The first Cash Americana album, a 1960 valentine to the railroads and the changing face of the land throughout the century. A bit stilted at times, and not the greatest beginning-to-end listen Johnny ever recorded, but an important snapshot of the artist at the time. We don't need to tell you ... read moreCD
Johnny's first album collaboration with his soon-to-be wife June Carter, and it's a nice one!

The couple cover Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
