Johnny Cash news

In celebration of Sun Records’ 70th anniversary, the legendary label will release a new remastered version of Johnny Cash: With His Hot & Blue Guitar next Friday, just days after the 65th anniversary of the album’s October 11, 1957 debut.

Featuring career-making hits including “I Walk The Line” and “Folsom Prison Blues,” Cash’s debut LP and the first LP ever issued by Sam Phillips on Sun Records — will be released both digitally (marking Sun’s first single artist album to be fully mastered in Dolby ATMOS Spatial Audio), available at all ATMOS-supporting DSPs, and on vinyl. The vinyl LP will be pressed at Memphis Record Pressing in Memphis, TN where the album’s famed songs were originally recorded.

The ATMOS version of the album debuted as an Essential Album on Apple Music, with a featured interview on Apple Music Radio with host Strombo and guest Robert Hilburn. Hilburn, who wrote the liner notes for the vinyl release, is a music critic and author of the best-selling biography Johnny Cash: A Life.

The release marks the final single artist vinyl release in Sun Records’ 70th Anniversary series, which has also featured remastered versions of LPs from Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jeannie C. Riley, The Dixie Cups, Linda Martell, Bettye LaVette, and Jerry Lee Lewis.
