Johnny Cash – Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! (Limited Edition 12-Inch Album on 180g Turquoise Marble Vinyl)

This hand-numbered album is limited to just 500 copies.

Originally released on 11 October 1957, Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! is the debut studio album by Johnny Cash. The first-ever full-length LP to be released by Sun Records, the album contains four iconic singles: I Walk the Line, Cry! Cry! Cry!, So Doggone Lonesome and Folsom Prison Blues.

The most impressive part of this album is Cash’s ability to adapt a variety of traditional musical styles (including country, folk, and gospel) to his own simple yet irresistible style. Traditional songs like Rock Island Line and Wreck of the Old ‘97 find new life in Cash’s signature chugging rhythm and deep, confident voice.

The album is pure, honest Johnny Cash; no strings or horns, no complex production, just Johnny and the Tennessee Two – as it should be.
