Description

Sun Records (EPA-111) 45 RPM record for the Johnny Cash EP ‘Johnny Cash Sings Hank Williams,’ signed on the back cover in black ballpoint by Cash. The EP contains four songs: ‘I Can't Help It,’ ‘You Win Again,’ ‘Hey Good Lookin',’ and ‘I Could Never Be Ashamed of You.’ This special collection of Hank Williams songs sung by Johnny Cash was released by Sun Records in 1958. In fine condition, with a brush to the first name; the original, beautiful picture sleeve is well preserved and in excellent condition with bright graphics. The included record is in VG condition.

Sun Records is where rock and roll was born. Sun was the very early recording home of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison. In July of 1954, Elvis Presley signed with Sun and recorded ‘That's All Right.’ His presence attracted even more talent to the label. Later that same year, Johnny Cash signed with Sun. Cash, along with Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis himself would form the Million Dollar Quartet, and on December 4, 1956, their famous, impromptu jam session was recorded. These artists would go on to record some of the most important and influential music in the history of rock and roll on the Sun Records label.
