About this album
Story Songs Of The Trains And Rivers is a focused Johnny Cash compilation that highlights one of his most enduring themes: motion, distance and the hard-edged romance of the American road and rail. Drawing on early Sun-era recordings and related sides, it brings together classics such as Hey Porter, I Heard That Lonesome Whistle, Big River and Wreck Of The Old 97, songs that helped define Cash’s plainspoken storytelling and propulsive Tennessee Two sound. Issued in 1969, it reflects how his catalogue was already being organised around strong conceptual threads, underlining his stature as a country singer whose work reached beyond genre into folk legend.
