(4-CD LP-sized box set with 32-page book) Johnny Cash was one of the first to explore the idea of the concept album in country music. The songs in this exclusive collection were recorded between 1960 and 1977 and were released on seven concept albums, Ride This Train, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Bitter Tears, Ballads Of The True West, From Sea To Shining Sea, America and The Rambler. Taken together, these albums are a true and authentic statement of what Johnny Cash was all about, and they came from his most vital and creative period as a singer and songwriter. The songs are Johnny Cash, the quintessential American writing and singing about America.
