Johnny Cash and Tennessee Two

Sun 241

I Walk The Line / Get Rhythm

10" 78 RPM record, a rockabilly classic on both sides, early country classic with a rock n roll edge.

Recorded at Sun Studios under the supervision of Sam Phillips. Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two signed a record deal with Sam Phillips at Sun Records in 1954. Initially, Phillips was hesitant, but Cash's persistence and unique style won him over, leading to the release of their first singles in 1955. Phillips, known for discovering and launching the careers of Elvis Presley and other musical legends, played a crucial role in Cash's early success

GRADE: V+, plays well, some scuffs and scratches. Good sound on my setup. Your playback may vary. See photos and ask any questions.

About Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two:

Johnny Cash moved to Memphis in 1954 and formed an after-work gospel group with two auto mechanics, Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant. The trio played their first concert at what was then the Galloway United Methodist Church after a postal worker, who was a member of the church, overheard them and urged his wife to invite them to perform at her fundraiser.
