Johnny Cash: Easy Rider - The Best Of The Mercury Recordings (CD)

(Mercury) 24 tracks - digisleeve

after almost 30 years with Columbia Records, country music legend Johnny Cash released his first album on Mercury Records - Class Of '55, in collaboration with former Sun Records colleagues Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. Seven years later, his last recording before signing to Rick Rubins American Recordings was to be another collaboration, "The Wanderer", with U2.

In the years that spanned these recordings, Johnny Cash released a total of six albums on Mercury Records. The highlights of these releases are presented here on the brand new compilation Easy Rider: "The Best Of The Mercury Recordings".

Now remastered for the very first time using the original Mercury master tapes, the 24 tracks include Cash's updated interpretations of the classics "Get Rhythm" and "Tennessee Flat Top Box", the rare b-side "Veteran's Day", Elvis Costello's "The Big Light" and his collaboration with U2, "The Wanderer".

With the brand new liner notes by music author Scott Schinder, Easy Rider represents the very first collection of Johnny Cash's Mercury Records recordings.

Gestorben am 12. September 2003 in Nashville, Tennessee

"No one but no one more original than Johnny Cash."

So lautete der Text einer Columbia-Anzeige aus den 60er Jahren. Wie wahr! Damals. Und während seiner gesamten, fast 50jährigen Karriere. Einer Karriere, die am Freitag, den 12. September 2003, morgens um 2 Uhr in einem Krankenhaus in Nashville ihr Ende fand.

James Mangold, Regisseur des Films 'Walk The Line' über das Leben von Johnny Cash (mit Joaquin Phoenix in der Titelrolle), hat beim Interview in Los Angeles versichert:"Ich hätte diesen Film nie gedreht, wenn ich nicht auf die Cash-Boxsets des Labels Bear Family gestoßen wäre. Ein Fan war ich zwar schon, seit ich 'At Folsom Prison' als Kind in der Plattensammlung meines Vaters zwischen lauter merkwürdigen John-Denver-Scheiben entdeckt habe. Aber erst durch die Fotos und Begleittexte der Bear-Family-Boxen entwickelte ich ein Gespür für die Ära. Sie waren auch beim Set- und Kostümdesign eine große Hilfe."

Cash war zwischen 1951 und 1954 als Angehöriger der US Army in Landsberg am Lech stationiert, wo er seine erste Band gründete, die Landsberg Barbarians.

Beginn der Plattenkarríere 1955 bei Sun Records. Veröffentlichte bis heute mehrere hundert Singles und Langspielplatten, Dutzende seiner Songs wurden Klassiker (z. B. "I Walk The Line", "A Boy Named Sue", ”Folsom Prison Blues”). Cash -"The man in black" - war der erste US-Topstar, der in deutscher Sprache aufnahm: Am 25. 10. 1959 entstanden in den Bradley Film & Recording Studios von Nashville - Tennessee die Titel “Wo ist zu Hause, Mama" und "Viel zu spät" mit Luther Perkins (Gitarre), Marshall Grant (Bass) und Michael Kazak (Drums); es produzierte Don Law.

Beide Titel wurden in Deutschland von Bear Family Records auf LP erst veröffentlicht. Als eine Cash-Tournee anstand, folgte die Single-Ausgabe der CBS. Mit deutschen Musikern hatte Cash im Juni 1965 in Frankfurt die Backing-Tracks für drei weitere deutschsprachige Titel aufgenommen, “Kleine Rosmarie", "Besser so, Jenny-Joe" und "In Virginia". Den Gesang fügte er am 19. und 20. 6. in den Columbia Studios von New York hinzu. Während dieser Sessions sang er außerdem auf das Original-Band von “I Walk The Line" den deutschen Text "Wer kennt den Weg?".

Produzenten dieser Aufnahmen waren Don Law und Gerd Schmidt. Als Schauspieler sah man Cash u. a. in den US-Produktionen “Five Minutes To Live” ("Noch 5 Minuten zu leben", 1962) und “A Gunfight" (”Duell in Mexiko" bzw. "Rivalen des Todes",1970).
