Johnny Cash: The Sound Of Johnny Cash (LP, 180g Vinyl, Ltd.)

(WaxTime) 14 tracks, 180g vinyl - limited edition, incl. 2 bonus tracks.

This Collector's Edition contains one of the singer/songwriter's best albums, The Sound of Johnny Cash. On this LP, Cash deliberately returned to the stripped-down sound of his Sun recordings. Released by Columbia Records in August 1962, the album features a handful of excellent songs, including "In the Jailhouse Now," a Jimmie Rodgers cover that reached #8 on the country charts, and "Delia's Gone," a song that would become part of Cash's standard repertoire. He recorded a new version of this classic a few years later on American Recordings (1994).

The Sound of Johnny Cash begins with "Lost on the Desert", a great western tale about a prisoner who escapes from jail and goes looking for the stuff he had hidden away in the desert, having market the spot before he was jailed, but he can't find the marker. More familiar are the above mentioned, "In the Jailhouse Now" and "Delia's Gone", a murder ballad based on real-life events that would become one of Cash's most famous songs.

Up next are "Let Me Down Easy", a classic country number written by Tompall & The Glaser Brothers (who also performed on some of the album's recording sessions); "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know", a country hit for the Davis Sisters, and "Cotton Fields", a traditional folk song first recorded by Lead Belly in 1940 and covered by many artists, including Harry Belafonte (1959), The Beach Boys (1968) and Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969), among others. Another highlight of the album is the Lou Herscher and Saul Klein song "I'm Free from the Chain Gang Now", a tune that Cash would also revisit some years later on the posthumous album American V: A Hundred Highways (2006).

Also remarkable are the only two compositions by Cash, "You Remembered Me" and the closer "Sing It Pretty, Sue", one of his absolute favourite songs as he would later declare. On both songs Cash genuinely stamped his own personality, showing all the talent that would make him a legend. In addition to this sensational LP, we have included two single releases from the same period as a bonus: "Bonanza!", the theme to the hit television show, with lyrics written by Cash and Johnny Western, and the gospel-themed "(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (For Me)", another of Cash's favourites, written by Thomas A. Dorsey. Cash would record it live a few years after in his famous concert at the San Quentin State Prison.

Johnny Cash

Geboren am 26.2. 1932 in Kíngsland -Arkansas.
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).
