Many of Johnny Cash's Iconic Songs on 180g Double LP!
Career Spanning Album on Vinyl for the First Time! Pressed at QRP!
The Legend of Johnny Cash is a compilation album of country music singer Johnny
Cash's career. It is the first such album to contain material from Cash’s
American Recordings era in addition to songs from his time at Sun and Columbia.
It was released on October 25, 2005 on the Island/American/Columbia/Legacy
record labels and tied to the release of the Cash biopic Walk the Line. In the
wake of that film's success its sales made the compilation an overwhelming
success. The album was certified Gold on 12/7/2005, Platinum on 12/14/2005 and
2x Platinum on 5/19/2006 by the RIAA. As of May 8, 2014, the album has sold
3,166,000 copies in the United States.
Johnny Cash's death at age 71 on September 12, 2003, nearly four months after
the passing of his beloved wife and musical partner June Carter Cash, closed a
career spanning nearly an even half a century. It launched a worldwide
groundswell of grief and media attention comparable to that for a deceased head
of state. Cash was far more than one of country music's greatest stars. While
his lonesome baritone defied fad or fashion, his charismatic presence and flinty
integrity made him an American cultural icon, a regular presence on TV, radio
and in dramatic films, admired by the Greatest Generation through Gen-X and
beyond.
