Intervention Records continues its »Sun Records Hi-Fi Series« with essential tracks from the famous Memphis label – this time with a brilliant reissue of »Johnny Cash With His Hot and Blue Guitar!«, the first LP by one of country music's most enduring icons! Originally released on October 11, 1957, the album features classics such as "I Walk The Line," which was a No. 1 country hit for six non-consecutive weeks before entering the Billboard pop chart Top 20, "Cry, Cry, Cry" (No. 14 on the country chart), "So Doggone Lonesome" (No. 4 on the country chart), and "Folsom Prison Blues," which would top the country charts more than a decade later. when Cash performed the piece as part of his seminal 1968 live album, At Folsom Prison. The recording of the album took place between September 1954 and August 1957, under the aegis of star producer Sam Phillips. "I never thought I'd hear the iconic voice of Johnny Cash on Intervention Records!" said Shane Buettner, founder of the label. "And I don't think music fans around the world have ever heard Johnny's voice or the famous Sun Studio sound as clearly as they did on this new 45 RPM mono recording. That's very close to a time machine back to 1950s Memphis!" Accompanied only by his "Tennessee Two" (Luther Perkins on lead guitar and Marshall Grant on double bass) and complemented by Phillips' signature studio slapback, which gave Cash's "boom-chicka-boom" sound its kick, "Johnny Cash With His Hot and Blue Guitar!" is the album that introduced many to Cash's sonorous baritone. As part of the »Sun Records Hi-Fi Series«, »With His Hot And Blue Guitar« was remastered 100 percent analogue by the legendary Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio. He had access to the original analog tape sources from the label archive. The result is impressive and proves how fantastic mono recordings can sound, which have been specially remastered for sampling with modern stereo cartridges. The LP reissue from Intervention Records was pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Gotta Groove Records and cut at 45 rpm. In keeping with its status, »Johnny Cash With His Hot And Blue Guitar!« comes in an »old-style« sleeve from Stoughton Printing – including the iconic album cover. This new edition proves how fantastic mono recordings can sound, which have been specially remastered for sampling with modern stereo cartridges.
