Man in Black 1954-58 Reviews:
Sun Shines on Cash 
2005-12-16 - One word for this collection: exhuastive.
If you are a Cash enthusiast, this collection, containing an extraordinary number of outtakes, is a must have. The liner notes are thorough and make for good reading. I understand there is still a lot of unreleased material from this time period, but this collection has everything that's publically available. The organization of the material is raw, presenting a number of tunes repeating themselves back-to-back, and is clearly intended for the collector.
Johnny`s amazing SUN recordings complete.
2005-02-27 - This amazing box from Bear Family Records includes all SUN recordings plus an eye on the wall at his first Columbia session.Amazing good sound.
Here you can hear Johnny sing "Rock and roll Ruby" pure rockabilly.It is amazing how his last rockabilly recordings 45 years later has the same good rocking sound.Compare it to the rockabilly recordings on "Unearthed".If you buy this and "Unearthed" you will find out that Johnny got back to his country roots.Buy it you will not regret it,well spent money.
Luther played the boogie
2004-06-17 - This five cd set includes everything that Johnny Cash recorded for Sun Records. All of his fifties hits are here "Hey Porter", "I Walk The Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", few Hank Williams' songs "Hey, Good Lookin'", "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With", "Cold, Cold Heart", "I Could Never Be Ashamed of You" and some alternate takes are featured here. Must for Johnny's fans!
A great introduction to the Man in Black's career!
2003-10-18 - This is a superb complete box set of Cash's Sun material and early Columbia work. There are other CD's available of his sun work and a lot more overdubbing are on some of thoese CD's, but on this box set you will hear them as they were recorded originally! There are a few surprises on this box set and quite a few outtakes and chatter in the studio which I know you will really enjoy. The best CD is disc 5 though. There is an uninterrupted recording session from 1959 with Johnny, the Tennessee Three and the Jordanaires recording Lead Me Father, That's Enough, Picking Time, Don't Take Your Guns To Town, I Still Miss Someone, One More Ride and Cold Shoulder. I highly recommend it to all Cash fans as it is a graet introduction to his career!
