Jonny Cash


Saw the movie "Walk the Line" and I like that music. I have the Records from Rick Rubin, and from those I like the 1. one much more than the others.
Is there THE Jonny Cash record out there ?
Probably Folsom Prison?

"The Essential Johnny Cash" sold at "Target" stores only, a two CD disc set of his early recordings. $19.95....

cmo is right...although the rubin recordings are well done, Cash's 50's and 60s output on Sun and Columbia is literally the stuff of legend.
The Folsom Prison CD sounds excellent and is a remarkable example of a live performance by the Man in Black. I recently purchased Johnny Cash at San Quentin and was very disappointed. The sound is constricted and heavily compressed and this was the latest "remastered" version. "The Essential Johnny Cash Collection" is excellent. I'd purchase all the Rick Rubin CDs 1-4, I don't think there is a bad one and if you really want to complete this collection, buy the "Unearthed" collection.
Thanks for your recommendations. I ordered a few of them.
Those 4 from Rick Rubin I already have.
