''Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar'' is the debut album of rock and roll pioneer Johnny Cash, released on October 11, 1957. The album contained four of his hit singles: "I Walk the Line," "Cry! Cry! Cry!," "So Doggone Lonesome," and "Folsom Prison Blues." It was re-issued on July 23, 2002 as an expanded edition, under the label Varese Vintage, containing five bonus tracks, three being alternate versions of tracks already present on the original LP. In 2012, Columbia Records reissued the album with 16 additional non-album Sun tracks as part of its 63-disc ''Johnny Cash: The Complete Columbia Album Collection'' box set. This was the first LP ever issued on Sam Phillips' Sun Records label. ==Background== Cash auditioned for a place on the music label Sun Records in 1955, but failed to impress its founder Sam Philips after presenting himself as a gospel singer. Cash was told to come back with a more commercial sound, as gospel wouldn't sell. He returned with the songs "Hey Porter!" and "Cry! Cry! Cry!" and subsequently released them as his debut single on Sun Records in July 1955. On the recording he was backed by Luther Perkins on guitar and Marshall Grant on bass, dubbed "The Tennessee Two" by Philips. ("Hey Porter" was not included on the original Sun album, but was included in later reissues by other labels.) "Cry! Cry! Cry!" became a commercial success, entering the country charts at number fourteen. His second single, "Folsom Prison Blues", was released in December 1955 and reached the country Top Five in early 1956. His final single on ''With His Hot and Blue Guitar'', "I Walk the Line", continued his success, reaching number one on the country charts and staying there for six weeks, eventually crossing over into the pop Top 20.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Johnny Cash - Music Biography, Credits and Discography )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「With His Hot and Blue Guitar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
