The Fabulous Johnny Cash was Cash's first album for Columbia Records and one of his best for the label.
- Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG (4.5/5 Stars)


The Fabulous Johnny Cash is the third album by country singer Johnny Cash. It was released in January 1959 by the Columbia label, after Cash's departure from Sun Records, and was re-issued in 2002 by Sony Music's Legacy imprint.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Fabulous Johnny Cash was Cash's first album for Columbia Records and one of his best for the label. Unlike some of his latter-day albums, there wasn't much filler on the record. At the time of its recording, Cash had just been freed from his contract with Sun. Instead of recording these songs for his last Sun sessions, he wound up saving much of his best material for his Columbia album, and that's what makes The Fabulous so consistent. The album builds on his basic, spare sound, but it is slightly more polished than his Sun records. But what makes it so entertaining are the songs themselves. From "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" and "Frankie's Man, Johnny" to "Pickin' Time" and "The Troubador," the album is filled with first-rate songs, with only a handful of mediocre songs like "Suppertime," which don't distract from the overall quality of the album at all.

Ripping Note

What really impressed me on this record was the amzing sound quality. It makes you wonder how high the recording qualities back in those days was.
Thius new record itself was perfectly pressed. Well centered, quiet & flat. I just give it a standard washing on my RCM and had to rmove just a few minor clicks. That's it!!!

@ bluzer

I didn't purchased "Red Headed Stranger" 'till now... Country isn't my favorite style. But "Red Headed Stranger" seems to be a must have.

Another great one, thank you!

thanks! looking forward to hearing this. Great recording, I posted an original mono LP a while back which I thought sounded excellent.
I bought and ripped Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger" Impex reissue. I'll post on d in a couple of days. It sounds nice but a little too dark for my tastes... surprising, since George Marino is usually thought of as mastering things brightly.
