JOHNNY CASH - EASY RIDER: THE THE MERCURY RECORDINGS (2LP)
In 1986, after almost 30 years on Columbia Records, Country music legend Johnny Cash released his first
album on Mercury Records – Class Of ’55, in collaboration with fellow Sun Records alumni Roy Orbison, Jerry
Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. Seven years later, his last recording before signing with Rick Rubin’s American
Recordings would be another collaboration, “The Wanderer”, with U2.
In the years that span those recordings, Johnny Cash released a total of six albums for Mercury Records.
The highlights of that output are presented here, on the brand new compilation Easy Rider: The Best Of The
Mercury Recordings.
