Johnny Cash – Sings Hank Williams 1960! (Staff Pick)

Title: Johnny Cash Sings Hank Williams
Year/Genre: 1960, Country
Matrix #: DT 91284
Condition: VG+ (Plays Awesome!)

Description: After Johnny Cash left Sun for Columbia in 1958, Sun issued this 1960 LP compiled from earlier Memphis sessions with the Tennessee Two. Despite the title, only a few songs are actually Hank Williams compositions; the rest are early Sun sides that show Cashs developing boom-chicka-boom style. It was a savvy label move to ride Cashs rising fame while pointing back to his Sun-era roots.
