Now, There Was a Song! by Johnny Cash (CD - 10/11/1994)
"Now, There Was a Song!" (10/11/1994) Country Cash, Johnny, Legacy RecordingsDigitally remastered by Debra Parkinson (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). Personnel: Johnny Cash (vocals); Al Casey (guitar). Johnny Cash is known as one of the finest songwriters in the history of country music, and when his name is mentioned, dozens of his memorable tunes immediately come to mind. Despite his compositional abilities, Cash remains a humble man, able to recognize the greatness of others. It is that ability which is the foundation of THERE WAS A SONG. Here, Cash leaves his songbook and his already minuscule ego at home, recording a batch of tunes made famous by his favorite country singers. The list of men whose songs Cash tackles here reads like the Country Hall of Fame roster. There's Ernest Tubb's "I Will Miss You When You Go," Hank Williams' classic "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," George Jones' "Seasons of My Heart" and more. Cash is too individual a talent to copy these singers' styles even if he wanted to, so every selection is a masterpiece of inspiration and reinvention.

Collection (The Fabulous... [Long Box] [4/5] *
"The Collection: The Fabulous Johnny Cash/Blood, Sweat & Tears/Ragged Old Flag [Long Box]" (04/05/2005) Country Cash, Johnny, Legacy Recordings3 LPs on 3 CDs: THE FABULOUS JOHNNY CASH (1958)/BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS (1963)/RAGGED OLD FLAG (1974). Personnel: Johnny Cash (vocals, guitar); Johnny Cash; The Oak Ridge Boys (vocals, background vocals); Ray Edenton, Larry McCoy, Carl Perkins (guitar); Don Helms (steel guitar); Marvin Hughes (piano); Marshall Grant (bass instrument); Murray Harman, Jr., Morris Palmer, Buddy Harman (drums); The Jordanaires (background vocals); Luther Perkins (guitar); Earl Scruggs (banjo). Audio Mixer: Mark Wilder. Liner Note Authors: Johnny Cash; Billy Altman. Recording information: Nashville, TN (07/24/1958-08/13/1958). Author: Johnny Cash. Photographers: Don Hunstein; Marvin Koner; John Hamilton. Arranger: Chuck Cochran. This box set collects three significant albums in Johnny Cash's extensive career. On his 1958 Columbia debut, THE FABULOUS JOHNNY CASH, the only real addition to the minimalist sound of Cash's Tennessee Two is a male backing vocal group. Highlights include Cash's timeless torch ballad, "I Still Miss Someone," and the poignant farm-community narrative "Pickin' Time." BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS, his 1963 chronicle of the daily lives and the folklore of American laborers, features banjos, autoharps, and background vocals by the Carter Family, fleshing out arrangements built around Cash's voice and acoustic guitar, while RAGGED OLD FLAG is one of the Man in Black's mid-'70s song cycles about American national identity. Here, narratives of working-class hardship predominate, though there are also songs about alienation ("Lonesome to the Bone"), domestic bliss ("While I've Got It on My Mind"), and the affecting environmental protest song, "Don't Go Near the Water."

16 Biggest Hits
"16 Biggest Hits" (02/02/1999) Oldies Cash, Johnny, Legacy RecordingsAlso available in a 3-pack with WILLIE NELSON: 16 BIGGEST HITS and GEORGE JONES: 16 BIGGEST HITS. Producers include: Bob Johnston, Don Law, Frank Jones, Johnny Cash, Charlie Bragg. Photographers: Don Hunstein; Norman Seeff. A Johnny Cash song has two components: Cash's deep, gravelly baritone, and that distinctive, "chicken pickin'" guitar and bass line. But as 16 BIGGEST HITS demonstrates, it's what Cash managed to do with those two simple ingredients that makes him a legend. A country singer with a rock & roll heart, Cash mixed traditional country idioms with the lyrical sensibility of his pal Bob Dylan to create songs that were at once of-the-moment ("The Ballad of Ira Hayes") and timeless ("Ring of Fire"). 16 BIGGEST HITS includes a fine sampling of Cash's favorite themes: the socially-conscious protest song ("The Man in Black"), the humorous story song ("One Piece at a Time"), and the song of longing and desire ("Flesh and Blood," "I Still Miss Someone"). Also included are the classic "Folsom Prison Blues" (the superior 1968 live version), the snarling put-down "Understand Your Man," and Cash's definitive version of Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down." The 8-minute track "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer" is a veritable radio play, complete with sound effects and character voices. But since a single disc can't possibly reflect the scope of Cash's output, consider 16 BIGGEST HITS the appetizer to a grand musical banquet.

Johnny 99 by Johnny Cash (CD - 01/19/1999)
"Johnny 99" (01/19/1999) Country Cash, Johnny, Koch Records (USA)Personnel: Johnny Cash, June Carter (vocals); Marty Stuart (acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin); Tim Goodman (acoustic, electric & slide guitars, banjo, 6-string bass); James Burton, Bob Wooton (electric guitar); Brian Ahern (gut string guitar, 6-string bass, tambourine); David Mansfield (mandolin, mandocello, fiddle); Norton Buffalo (harmonica); Nick DeCaro, Jo'El Sonnier (accordion); Glen D. Hardin (keyboards); Jerry Scheff (bass); Hal Blaine (drums); Hoyt Axton, Barbara Bennett, Donivan Cowart, Lynn Langham (background vocals). Producer: Brian Ahern. Reissue producer: Dave Nives. Engineers: Donivan Cowart, Brian Ahern Jack "Stack-A-Track" Grochmal. Recorded at Magnolia Sound Studios, North Hollywood, California. Originally issued on Columbia (38696). Includes liner notes by Grant Alden. Personnel: Johnny Cash (vocals); Al Casey, James Burton (guitar); Tim Goodman (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, banjo, 6-string bass); Marty Stuart (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin); Bob Wootton (electric guitar); Brian Ahern (gut-string guitar, 6-string bass, tambourine); David Mansfield (mandolin, fiddle); Norton Buffalo (harmonica); Nick DeCaro (accordion); Hal Blaine, Jerry Scheff (drums). Liner Note Author: Grant Alden. Recording information: Magnolia Sound Studios, North Hollywood, CA. Unknown Contributor Roles: Glen D. Hardin; Hal Blaine; Marty Stuart. Arranger: Johnny Cash. This is a reissue of a John R. "Johnny" Cash album that came out on Columbia Records in 1983. Back then, country wasn't' considered cool, and easy-listening pop-country ruled the country charts. There was very little crossover between country, rock and folk--or was there? Long before "alterna-country," "No Depression," "y'allternative" or roots-rock bands like Son Volt, Cash did this daring (for its time) album. Cash was a Classic Country Figure by this time, and so was taken for granted. A shame, for this great album was over-looked by the country, rock and folk crowds of the day. Cash covers--wonderfully--two Bruce Springsteen tunes, "Highway Patrolman" and "Johnny 99," as well as songs by Guy Clark ("New Cut Road") and Erik Von Schmidt ("Joshua Gone Barbados"). Producer Brian Ahern (then married to Emmylou Harris) keeps the back-up band lean & mean (featuring guitar master James Burton) and Cash's deep, stoic voice is as reassuringly real & honest as a forest of Redwoods. Highly recommended to Cash fans as well as those into the neo-country/roots-rock bands.

"Train of Love: A Tribute to Johnny Cash" (11/15/2005) Rock & Pop Various Artists, CMH RecordsPersonnel: Marco Di Maggio, Laurie Lewis (vocals, guitar); Brantley Kearns (vocals, fiddle); Harry Fontana, Faye Pierce, Carey Kotsionis, Tony Reflex (vocals); Kenny Blackwell (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin); Mark Thornton (guitar, gut-string guitar); Richard Bennett (guitar, bouzouki); Steve Wilkerson & Andrea Baker, George Paras, Kirk Mosher, Brian Wright (guitar); Bucky Baxter (electric guitar, background vocals); Ben Loory, Tom Rozum (mandolin); Darol Anger (violin); Ed Neff (fiddle); Jon Wahl (harmonica); Carolyn Cirimele (accordion); Jim Hoke (saxophone, piano); Todd Phillips (acoustic bass); Kevin Lacey (double bass); Dave Harder, Dennis Crouch (upright bass); Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, Ken Coomer, Mat Young, Billie Lee Lewis, Mike Furkins (drums); Holly Tashian, Barry Tashian (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Tom Size; Laurie Lewis; Mark Thornton; Jeff Servais; Mark Greene. Audio Remasterer: Paul DuGre. Recording information: Grandma's Warehouse (08/21/2005); Jack's Tracks, Nashville, TN (08/21/2005); Red Rooster Sudios (08/21/2005); Saddlesong Studios, Los Gatos, CA (08/21/2005); Sidekick Studios (08/21/2005); Studio 9, Hollywood, CA (08/21/2005); Tamtam Studios, Florence, Italy (08/21/2005); The Green Room, Los Angeles, CA (08/21/2005); The Tone Chaparral, Nashville, TN (08/21/2005); Three Trees Studio, Whites Creek, TN (08/21/2005); Westbeach Records, Hollywood, CA (08/21/2005). Arrangers: Richard Bennett ; Wayne Kramer . Country legend Johnny Cash made over 1,500 recordings in his lifetime (48 of which hit Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart) and his death in 2003 left a void that seems impossible to fill. Numerous tribute collections have appeared since his death, including this one in 2005 from CMH Records, and the reimaginings here of some of his trademark songs range from reverent to radical. The set opens with Laurie Lewis' fiddle-led version of "Train of Love," followed by a bustling take on "Hey Porter" by the DiMaggio Brothers, and things brighten considerably with Cod Express' instrumental "Tennessee Flat Top Box," which features guitars galore. Former MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer's mechanized, slightly spooky "One Piece at a Time" shifts the emphasis in the song from humor to retribution, and is a showstopper here, as are two eerie, atmospheric covers by Soda and His Million Piece Band, "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Ring of Fire," both of which focus on the desperation inherent at each song's center. Former AIM president Russell Means' spoken word "Ballad of Ira Hayes" is also memorable, more because of the choice of artist to song than for any other reason. In the end, Train of Love underscores just how much of a cultural chimera Cash really was, recording music that -- while cached as country -- transcended genres on its way to establishing a kind of pure Americana. ~ Steve Leggett

Cash On Delivery: The Songs Of Johnny Cash
"Cash on Delivery: Tribute to Johnny Cash" (08/24/1999) Rock & Pop Various Artists, CMH RecordsA portion of the proceeds from sales of CASH ON DELIVERY are donated to Vanderbilt University Medical Research Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Personnel: Col. Jim Silvers, Marco Di Maggio, Laurie Lewis, Paul King (vocals, guitar); Phil Lee (vocals, harmonica); Faye Pierce, Tony Reflex (vocals); Richard Bennett (guitar, bouzouki); Kenny Blackwell (guitar, mandolin); Barry Tashian (guitar, background vocals); George Paras, Kirk Mosher, Steve Wilkerson (guitar); Roy Rogers (slide guitar); Mark Thornton (gut-string guitar); Tom Rozum (mandolin, background vocals); Darol Anger (violin); Ed Neff (fiddle); Jon Wahl (harmonica); Carolyn Cirimele (accordion); Todd Phillips (acoustic bass); Dennis Crouch (upright bass); Kenny Malone (drums, percussion); Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz, Ken Coomer, Mat Young, Billie Lee Lewis (drums); Barry & Holly Tashian (background vocals).

Unknown Contributor Roles: The Cod Express; Faye Pierce; Laurie Lewis; Richard Bennett ; Russell Means; Schankman Twins; Simon Stokes; Wayne Kramer ; Brantley Kearns. Arrangers: Richard Bennett ; Wayne Kramer . CMH's Cash on Delivery: An Alternative Country Tribute to Johnny Cash may not consist entirely of alt-country stalwarts -- Wayne Kramer isn't alt-country, even if he's performing alt-country -- but it does feature a strong lineup (Laurie Lewis, the Dimaggio Bros., the Schankman Twins, COD Express, Phil Lee, Lone Prairie) delivering interesting, unexpected twists to familiar songs ("Hey Porter," "I Got Stripes," "Tennessee Flat Top Box," "Jackson," "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," "Ballad of Ira Hayes"). It may not be a record that you play more than once or twice, but it's one of the more enjoyable tribute albums of 1999. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Very Best Of Johnny Cash: The Ultimate...
"Very Best of Johnny Cash, Vol. 2" (03/14/2006) Oldies Cash, Johnny, Collectables RecordsThis collection of sundry tracks from the latter part of Johnny Cash's stay at Sun Records includes his convincingly sung, self-penned gospel song, "Belshazah," as well as the pop hit "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" and its soundalike follow-up, "Down the Street to 301." The difference between the approaches of Cash's two producers, Sam Phillips, who favored keeping Cash's raw sound intact, and Jack Clement, who sweetened it with extra instrumentation and background vocals, is notable in the chugging rockabilly of "Country Boy" and the saccharine "I Couldn't Keep From Crying."

The Legend of Johnny Cash
"The Legend of Johnny Cash: The First Original Hits" (01/29/2002) Oldies Cash, Johnny, K-Tel DistributionA budget-priced collection of 1950s Sun-era Johnny Cash still trumps many contemporary country artists' releases. So, if you've never experienced the Man in Black's rough-hewn, throaty growl and the stripped down, primeval country sound of the Tennessee Two, and you're up to immersing yourself in some deep spiritual and emotional waters, songs like "Big River," Home of the Blues," and "Cry! Cry! Cry!," as well as the other seminal works featured here, are a fine place to start.

Hall Of Fame: Johnny Cash [3/21] *
"Hall of Fame" (03/21/2006) Oldies Cash, Johnny, Laserlight (USA)This succinct best-of includes songs from many stages of country music giant Johnny Cash's career, from the 1950s' vintage "I Walk the Line," "Big River," and "Get Rhythm," to the recording of Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" that gave Kristofferson his first major music business break. Of course there's also Shel Silverstein's "A Boy Named Sue" and a great version of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans," but it's Cash's own songs that best exemplify his crucial importance in the world of contemporary music.
