The Complete Columbia Collection

• Track Listing

If that price tag made you do a double-take, just consider what’s here: nothing less than one of the greatest collected bodies of work in the history of American music (not just country music). In 1958, after disputes with Sun Records over his royalties and his desire to record a gospel album, Johnny Cash made the move to Columbia, where he’d stay for almost three decades. The sweeping scope of his songs and the big boxed sets you’ve seen in the past are nothing compared to the magnitude of this mammoth set: 59 albums on 63 CDs including every Cash album the label released between 1958 and 1990. He conceived and created everything from concept albums, live documents and gospel recordings to holiday releases, soundtrack albums and inspired collaborations in those years, and you’ll hear it all (including the Carter Family, Carl Perkins, June Carter Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings and the Highwaymen). In mini-LP sleeves with original artwork come these albums: his ’50s LPs "The Fabulous Johnny Cash," "Hymns by Johnny Cash" and "Songs of Our Soil;" ’60s LPs "Ride This Train," "The Sound of Johnny Cash," "I Walk the Line," "Orange Blossom Special," "At Folsom Prison" and "At San Quentin;" ’70s LPs "Man in Black," "A Thing Called Love," "One Piece at a Time" and "The Rambler;" ’80s LPs "Highwayman," "Heroes," "The Adventures of Johnny Cash" and more. Making this extra-special are the exclusive collections "Johnny Cash with His Hot & Blue Guitar" (28 Sun classics) and the 2-CD "The Singles Plus" featuring his non-LP Columbia singles and his guest spots with Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins and more! A comprehensive Cash set like none other. Columbia/Sony Legacy.
