Now Here's Johnny Cash

About Now Here's Johnny Cash

Now Here's Johnny Cash is the tenth album by musician Johnny Cash. Released on Sun Records on 21 October 1961 (see 1961 in music), the album consists primarily of Sun recordings that had yet to appear on album, though some tracks like "Cry! Cry! Cry!" had appeared on LP before. At this time, Cash had been recording for Columbia Records for three years, but Sun had amassed sufficient backlog of recordings that it was able to continue to release new singles and albums with at least partial new material into the early 1960s. "Hey Porter", one of Cash's first major hits for the label from 1955, appeared on album for the first time. It was later re-issued in 2003 (see 2003 in music), under the label Varèse Sarabande, with five bonus tracks. In 2007 it was re-released with Greatest! on one CD. more »
