Greatest
Product Description Digitally remastered edition of this 1959 collection from the music legend. Although Johnny Cash had departed Sun Records for Columbia in 1958, the tracks he had recorded for Sun continued to provide Sam Phillips with plenty of material for release. Whilst neither of his first two Sun albums had made a dent in the charts, they had performed sufficiently well enough to earn him a big money move to Columbia, who in turn had been rewarded when the Fabulous Johnny Cash lived up to it's title and made the Top Twenty. In response Sam Phillips gathered together the six singles Johnny had released on the label and padded the album out with a further six tracks to produce the twelve track Greatest. Hallmark. About the Author Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was an American icon and country music superstar, a professed man of faith, as well as the author of three books. Cash first sang publicly while in the air force in the early fifties. The youngest person ever chosen for the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and awarded eleven Grammies in a career that spanned generations. Married to country legend June Carter, Cash performed everywhere from Folsom Prison to the White House, hosted his own television show, appeared in feature films, and in 1996 received the Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award.
