With His Hot And Blue Guitar is the debut studio album by American country singer songwriter Johnny Cash, originally released in October 1957 via Sun Records.
All legends start somewhere, and With His Hot and Blue Guitar is where the legend of Johnny Cash began. Newly remastered in honour of Sun Records’ 70th Anniversary, Cash’s debut album was also the first LP issued by Sam Phillips on the legendary label.
The Man in Black is backed by the Tennessee Two on classic Cash hits like “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Cry, Cry, Cry” and “I Walk the Line.” This 70th Anniversary vinyl edition features liner notes from rock critic and Cash biographer Robert Hilburn.
Cash auditioned for a place on the music label Sun Records in 1955, but he failed to impress its founder Sam Phillips after presenting himself as a gospel singer. Cash was told to come back with a more commercial sound, as Phillips believed gospel wouldn't sell.
Cash returned with the songs "Hey Porter!" and "Cry! Cry! Cry!" and subsequently released them as his debut single on Sun Records in July 1955. On the recording, he was backed by Luther Perkins on guitar and Marshall Grant on bass, dubbed "The Tennessee Two" by Phillips.
"Cry! Cry! Cry!" became a commercial success, entering the country charts at #14. His second single, "Folsom Prison Blues", was released in December 1955 and reached the country Top Five in early 1956.
His final single on With His Hot And Blue Guitar!, "I Walk the Line", continued his success, reaching number one on the country charts and staying there for six weeks, eventually crossing over into the pop Top 20.
This album is a 2022 reissue on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and remastered audio from the original master tapes, pressed in Europe via Sun Records.
