Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash
A prolific country-and-western songwriter and recording artist, Johnny Cash has released more than 70 albums of original music. His first recording, the 1955 double-sided single “Hey Porter”/“Cry, Cry, Cry,” was produced by Sam Phillips of Sun Records, who is famous for developing such early rock-and-roll legends as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Cash’s songs are often patriotic, and are admired for their compassion, sincerity, and gentle humor.
