Editorial Reviews

'Lonesome In Black' is the definitive document of Cash's legendary Sun era. Disc one features all of the Sun hits from 'I Walk The Line' & 'Folsom Prison Blues' to 'Rock Island Line' & 'Get Rhythm' whilst disc two brings together key album tracks & rare versions, including 'Rock 'N' Roll Ruby', originally written by Cash for Roy Orbison. Beautifully packaged & annotated, the release is a timely look back at the Man In Black's celebrated early years before his global success with Columbia Records. Features 40 tracks in all, packaged in a slipcase. 2004.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, January 1, 2006

Here we get 40 excellent Johnny Cash songs from the Sun Records period. These are all in excellent sound quality as well. You can't go wrong with this material at all.

One questionable part of the release: The songs on the second disc are all in alphabetical order, except for two selections. This shows me that they put the main, best known, songs on disc one and threw the rest on disc two. It doesn't do anything for the enjoyment of the material, but where else have you seen that happen?

There are simply too many good songs on these discs to NOT pick it up. If you want to dig deeper into Cash's Sun period, this is the place to go. Outstanding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Boom Chicka Boom!, December 26, 2006

The title of my review sums it up nicely. That "Boom Chicka Boom" sound is prevalent on almost every song on this release, yet it never gets old. Johnny Cash's singing/lyrical style is reminiscent of an old story teller and always holds your attention. Anyone that is a fan of Johnny Cash, Country Music or Music in general should have this in their collection.
