The Original Sun Sound of Johnny Cash

The Original Sun Sound is the eighteenth overall studio album by singer Johnny Cash and was released by Sun Records in 1964. Although Cash had been recording for Columbia Records since 1958, he had left Sun with enough of a backlog that the label continued to issue previously unreleased recordings on single and album into the early 1960s; this album features several tracks making their debut on LP.
