| Description |
In the wake of 'Walk The Line's popularity, fans have been treated to even more newly discovered Johnny Cash recordings of songs that he remembered from his youth. Many listeners have wondered, "Where in the world did he hear all this stuff?" Bear Family answers that question. We let you in on what Johnny Cash heard back in Arkansas: sentimental old-time ballads, traditional country, blues and gospel. The word eclectic only begins to do justice to this playlist. We have chosen these titles carefully from the singer's critically acclaimed work for American Recordings label, as well as his solo vocal / acoustic guitar work recently issued as 'The Personal Files.' We searched deep and found the versions of these songs most likely to have been the inspiration for Cash's work. Now you can listen, as Cash himself did, to historic recordings by Jimmie Rodgers, Bradley Kincaid, the Blue Sky Boys, Paul Robeson, Vernon Dalhart, Burl Ives, Leadbelly, Lonnie Donegan, Bing Crosby, the Carter Family and others. Detailed liner notes discuss the songs, the artists, and the impact they had on Johnny Cash.
Altogether, these tracks offer a deeper insight into the mind of Johnny Cash. They are a part of what nourished him during his formative years. This music was deeply etched into Cash's consciousness, awaiting a chance to express itself on-mic half a century later. Your collection already includes that final product; listen now to what came before. As an added treat, Bear Family offers a much-requested song from 'Walk The Line' that doesn't appear in the soundtrack album. It's a duet that June Carter recorded with her then-husband, Carl Smith, Time's A-Wastin', in 1953. |
