Cultural Facts:

1. Scene Ecology: This is the Sun Records universe—small-room sessions where rockabilly, country, and gospel shared the same tape machine.

2. Studio Lore: The “Tennessee Two” format (voice, guitar, minimal rhythm) was partly a constraint turned identity—lean setups that read huge on radio.

3. Media Narrative: Early Cash branding sold outlaw energy before the outlaw era existed—black clothes, stark photos, and a tougher posture than Nashville norms.
