Cash, Johnny - Sings The Ballads Of The True West Vol. 2

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON CBS 1966.

CBS 62591 made in England. Vinyl Vg++. Cover VG++.

One of the projects Johnny Cash wanted to do when he was on Sun Records was to record an album of songs from the Old West. Of course, Sam Phillips wouldn't hear of it, but the idea -- along with concept albums of gospel, train songs, and others -- all came to fruition when he moved to Columbia Records. This concept album is a 20-track set (vol 2. 10 track) that combines songs and narrations, the bulk of which were recorded in 1965 (the lone exception is Carl Perkins' "The Ballad of Boot Hill," which originates from a 1959 session).  One of Cash's best concept albums. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash
