Die Platten, die Johnny Cash als einen der größten amerikanischen Singer/Songwirter etablierten waren seine ersten Aufnahmen für Sun und Columbia Records, von denen einige in dieser Veröffentlichung enthalten sind. Von Southern Gospel und Country Music bis hin zu Blues und Rockabilly war er der erste Rock-Gigant, der sich auf die europäisch-amerikanischen Traditionen besann, im Gegensatz zu Zeitgenossen und Freunde wie Elvis Presley oder Jerry Lee Lewis, die ihre Einflüsse hauptsächlich aus dem afro-amerikanischen Repertoire bezogen. Bruno Blum hat die Kommentare im Booklet zu diesem produktiven und geborenen Geschichtenerzähler, der eine Inkarnation des Wild-West-Mythos ist, geschrieben.
