This magnificent 2 CD set would almost be worth the price just for the immortal words at the beginning of the first track, Hello, I'm Johnny Cash, which of course is how he began his famous concert at Folsom Prison, with an extraordinary version of Folsom Prison Blues that is even better than the original. The great songs are here: I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, Big River, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Jackson, and there is so much more, including a remarkable duet with none other than Bob Dylan, and a couple of tracks with Waylon Jennings. The distinctive, macho, voice of Johnny Cash and his guitar strumming are American institutions, and I maintain that noone in country music has ever topped him.

This CD has eveything you are looking for. All the songs I used to hear on 8 track at my grandma's house as a kid. The sound quality was great and I highly reccommend this addition to anyone's collection.

i've always dug johnny cash's style and his music.he is a true superstar no matter what genre.his songs deal with real life themes and are heart felt and timeless.

This CD, as anyone can tell, continues the dark, sometimes brutally honest life of Johnny Cash. Listen to it. Feel it. -John, PA

I think that Johnny Cash is one of the greatest country music superstars of all times. I think anyone who likes is music will love this 2 CD set.

If you love Johnny Cash and want some of his best songs, this is the collection for you!

A great collection from a great artist but (and with all respect to Mr. Cash) nobody does Folsom Prison Blues better than Native American artist Bill Miller. Sorry Jay Rudin but you should drop this one from your list of 25 songs that nobody else should sing.

I was hooked on Johnny Cash the first time that he walked out on his TV show and said, "Hi. I'm Johnny Cash." At the mere age of 4 I considered myself to be a "Highwayman" also. I wore black for years because of Johnny. I was the Trent Reznor of my middle school.
