Title: Johnny Cash - Singing Story Teller
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1970s, Country, Sun Records Country Compilation, Dyess, Arkansas 7/26
Matrix #: SUN-115
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Johnny C (32' - 03')
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Cash battled amphetamine and barbiturate addiction through much of his early fame, nearly destroying his health, marriage, and career before major personal recovery.
2. Studio Lore: These Sun-era recordings came from the Sam Phillips world in Memphis, where Cash's boom-chicka rhythm, Luther Perkins' guitar, and spare arrangements became his first signature sound.
3. Media Narrative: Compilations like this kept the young, hungry Cash in circulation, before the prison concerts, TV fame, and outlaw-country mythology made him larger than genre.
