Demonstrating the stark difference between Johnny Cash's raw, brittle sound and Elvis Presley's brash, full, confident swagger, LONESOME IN BLACK collects an extensive variety of Cash's early Sun recordings, including his first hit record, "Cry! Cry! Cry!" and "Folsom Prison Blues," one of the first songs he ever wrote. This two-disc set also features assorted album tracks and early cover versions Cash recorded, including Hank Williams' "Cold, Cold Heart" and "You Win Again," as well as "Rock N' Roll Ruby," a song Cash originally wrote for Roy Orbison.
