About Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash's early Sun recordings paired his voice and acoustic guitar with the spare accompaniment of guitarist Luther Perkins and bassist Marshall Grant. After moving to Columbia, he recorded country songs, gospel and concept albums drawing on American history and folk traditions. His prison concert albums at Folsom and San Quentin became major parts of that career. Later work with Rick Rubin opened another recording chapter, while collaborations such as the Highwaymen remained separately credited group projects.
