These 18 tracks (12 of them from the original 1959 LP, The Fabulous Johnny Cash, and 6 of them recorded during the same sessions, but previously unreleased in the U.S.) captured Cash during a particularly vital period of his long, illustrious career. Cash first broke through in the mid-`50s with his now-trademark "boom-chicka-boom" rhythms and sonorous, drawling baritone on Memphis's Sun Records; these are the earliest recordings from his nearly three decades on the Columbia label. Demonstrating an energy and down-home diversity that would later become even more fully realized, Cash herein moves deftly from introspective ballads (his original "Run Softly, Blue River") and railroad songs ("One More Ride") to cowboy ballads (his sardonic original, "Don't Take Your Guns to Town") and stoic laments like "I Still Miss Someone." In the process, he refines a vivid musical persona that more or less became synonymous with country music in the 1960s. --Bob Allen

For Serious, Already Established Johnny Cash Fans Only, New Listeners Will Probably Not Be Won Over By This CD.......2006-04-14
The CD is re-mastered and re-issued here, so the CD booklet has many nice, mostly b/w photos, and liner notes. The sound quality is fine. They did a nice job re-issuing this album, and they even rounded up six bonus tracks, which gives the running time a healthy 42 minutes total. The fault lies in the original performances and song choices, which seem old fashioned and less interesting than his previous, groundbreaking debut hits.
I thought that only his Gospel tunes could be accused of being old fashioned, but here, with only a couple of Gospel-ish songs, Johnny's non-religious tunes can be just as old fashioned.
This is Johnny Cash's second studio album. It is his first album for Columbia records, who signed him after Sun Records let him get away. Actually, Sun Records had many hits with Johnny Cash, but only released one studio album while Johnny was with Sun.
This CD is best for serious, established fans who want to trace his career and all his music. New and casual listeners of Johnny Cash will not likely be patient and interested enough to enjoy this, and they will be better suited with a greatest hits CD, for which I would recommend THE LEGEND OF JOHNNY CASH, or 16 BIGGEST HITS.
There are a few enjoyable songs for the serious fan on THE FABULOUS JOHNNY CASH, but most of this album is uninteresting. I must admit that with familiarity and repeated listenings, (and lower expectations), I do let some of these songs grow on me, and I like them more, the more I hear them. But there are many other, better Johnny Cash CDs out there, so this is a CD that is best for the long-time fan who has already been through all of his better CDs and is looking for the most obscure stuff. This album is definitely full of little known, obsure tunes.
Right now, my favorite Johnny Cash studio album is AMERICAN IV: THE MAN COMES AROUND. My favorite live album is JOHNNY CASH AT SAN QUENTIN. My most recommended Johnny Cash Gospel album is GOSPEL GLORY.
I can also highly recommend his spoken word, 16 CD set, JOHNNY CASH READS THE COMPLETE NEW TESTAMENT of the Holy Bible! That is truly fun to listen to for Christian fans of Johnny Cash.

I never got over those blue eyes........2005-07-03
A steamroller of a record.......2003-04-25
It starts off in a country-pop vein with the first four tunes, all good but more lightweight feeling. But with song number five, the hopped-up wanderlust anthem One More Ride, the record picks up and doesn't let up until it drops you off sweetly with Suppertime. Without a doubt, That's Enough is the highlight of the record. It wasn't the first gospel number Cash recorded at Columbia, but the euphoria and catharsis of Johnny proclaiming "I've got Jesus, and that's enough" are so palpable you'd think he just saw the light right then and there. It never fails to give me goosebumps. The remaining cuts vary in tempo and style but they never let up on that emotional intensity. A perfectly programed album.
The bonus tracks are all very strong, especially Walking the Blues and Mama's Baby, a great pop number.
If you like any Johnny Cash or heartfelt music of any kind, you should get this CD. It's the real deal.
Johnny's earliest Columbia recordings.......2002-10-06
The most famous of Johnny's own songs on this set are Don't take your guns to town (one of his most famous hits) and I still miss someone (one of the most often covered JC songs). I particularly like his version of Frankie and Johnny. There are many variations of this song with different lyrics. In most of them (including the ones by Elvis and Brook Benton), the man is unfaithful, but not in this version.
This is a brilliant collection, but don't expect it to sound like his late sixties or seventies music. The only instruments credited are guitar, bass, drums, bass and piano - and I don't hear much piano. In later years, other instruments would be added to vary the sound, but these recordings, like the Sun recordings which preceded them, are very simple and stark.
