Review - :
This {@Columbia} two-fer combines two of {$Johnny Cash}'s late-'50s LPs, {^The Fabulous Johnny Cash} and {^Songs of Our Soil}, making for a nice package but not necessarily the best value. Freshly released from {$Sam Phillips}' {@Sun Records}, {$Cash}'s material on {^Fabulous} really shines as the better of the two LPs. The material from {^Songs of Our Soil} is good (featuring {&"Five Feet High and Rising"} and {&"The Great Speckled Bird"}), but the vocals have gobs of that strange '50s studio reverb on them, and the backing vocalists (uncredited in the liner notes, quite likely {$the Jordanaires}) are a little obtrusive in the mix. Still, even with the minor flaws it's great to have it in print again. Although this release puts a bunch of great music on a single disc, the 2002 remasters of the two individual albums each feature a number of bonus tracks unavailable on this collection. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide
