Our Take

Ah, Johnny Cash, the man in black himself, gracing us with The Very Best Of The Sun Years. This collection of tracks from his early years at Sun Records is like taking a time machine back to the birth of rock 'n' roll.

From the moment you press play, Cash's deep, gravelly voice transports you to a smoky honky-tonk in the heart of the South. Songs like "I Walk the Line" and "Folsom Prison Blues" are timeless classics that showcase Cash's undeniable talent for storytelling.

The production on these tracks may sound a bit dated compared to today's standards, but that's part of the charm. You can almost hear the crackle of vinyl as Cash croons about love, loss, and life on the road.

One standout track on the album is "Get Rhythm," a foot-stomping tune that will have you tapping your toes in no time. Cash's signature boom-chicka-boom sound is on full display here, proving why he's considered a pioneer of the rockabilly genre.

Overall, The Very Best Of The Sun Years is a must-have for any Johnny Cash fan or music lover looking to delve into the roots of Americana. So pour yourself a glass of whiskey, put on your cowboy boots, and let the Man in Black take you on a musical journey through time.

About the artist

Johnny Cash

The Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash, was truly larger than life. With a deep timbre in his voice and an outlaw attitude to match, Cash revolutionized the country music scene with his raw and emotive storytelling. Born in Arkansas in 1932, Cash's early years were marked by poverty and hardship. But it was these struggles that fuelled his music, giving it an authenticity and grit that set him apart from his contemporaries. Cash burst onto the music scene in the 1950s with hits like "I Walk the Line" and "Folsom Prison Blues," capturing the hearts of fans with his rebellious spirit and no-nonsense approach to songwriting. His iconic all-black attire and sneering, devil-may-care attitude made him a legend in his own time. But Cash's life was not without its demons. His battles with addiction and personal struggles were well-documented, adding a layer of depth to his music that few could match. Through it all, Cash remained a towering figure in the world of country music, his legacy enduring long after his passing in 2003. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of country music, Johnny Cash's discography is a must-listen for any music aficionado. So grab a coffee (or something a little stronger) and settle in for a wild ride through the life and music of one of the greatest artists of all time. The Man in Black never goes out of style.
