Every Country and Western fan will find these ten CDs a real treasure trove with the best of Johnny Cash records on the Sun and Columbia labels. Altogether there are 14 original LPs and bonus titles – more music cannot be squeezed into a box – from religious songs through cover versions of Don Gibson and Hank Williams to Rockabilly. But the focus is on Johnny Cash’s own million-selling successes that he made despite huge alcohol and drug problems. Innumerable honours and awards came his way during his long career and he supported suppressed minorities. This box documents his rise to becoming the most successful post-WW2 Country singer from his musical beginnings with Sun studios; frequently his songs reached the pop charts.
