Album Notes
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."
