JOHNNY CASH  "orange blossom special"  cd 1965

his twenty-first studio album of sixty-eight,
i couldnt tell you how many i own as ive never counted them, but as a guess i would say i own around half
songs about prison and spirituality are the common thread here
plus covers from Carter Family, Johnny Horton and Bob Dylan
decent album overall, only one song i dislike, the Irish traditional folk song "danny boy"
album ranks 2.1 which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

lets go for this one:

JOHNNY CASH  "songs of our soil"  cd  1959

JC's fourth studio album
a collection of mostly self penned tunes with a few traditional folkies thrown in
recurring theme is death, a staple for "the man in black" throughout his career
love the spoken word pieces between most of the tracks also
album ranks 2.4 for me which means....
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

a traditional folk song he sung before the Beach Boys made it their own
