INFOS !!!!!

The musical treasures left behind by Johnny Cash at the
House Of Cash estate in Hendersonville, Tennessee, continue to provide insight
into his character as an American music icon – perhaps the American music icon.
The rich backwoods archive first bore fruit on Columbia/Legacy nearly five years
ago, with the release of Personal File aka Bootleg Vol. 1, a fascinating
double-CD collection of 49 privately recorded, intimate solo performances dating
from 1973 to 1982.

From Memphis To Hollywood: Bootleg Volume 2 continues
the series, as compilation producer Gregg Geller focuses on the dawning of
Johnny Cash’s recording career at Sun Records in Memphis from late 1954 to late
’57 (on CD One), into his first decade at Columbia Records in Nashville, from
1958 to 1969 (on CD Two). Bootleg Vol. 2 will be available at all physical and
digital retail outlets starting February 22, 2011, through
Columbia/Legacy, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

Putting the
Bootleg Vol. 2 collection in historical perspective is a carefully detailed
essay written by Ashley Kahn, author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles
Davis Masterpiece (DaCapo Press, 2000), and other titles. Kahn also contributes
to National Public Radio.

The trove of archival material on Bootleg Vol.
2 begins with a 15-minute live radio broadcast from KWEM in Memphis, hosted by
Johnny Cash, who worked for Home Equipment Company, the show’s sponsor right
across the street from the radio station. The date was Saturday, May 21, 1955,
in the same month that Cash recorded his first Sun single, “Cry! Cry! Cry!” b/w
“Hey Porter.” In addition to his lively palaver, Cash and the Tennessee Two –
guitarist Luther Perkins and bassist Marshall Grant – performed a handful of
tunes, including the honky tonk “Wide Open Road,” a cover of “One More Ride”
(from the Sons Of the Pioneers), the gospel “Belshazzar,” and the guitar
showpiece, “Luther’s Boogie.” The broadcast is followed by a one minute spot
advertising an upcoming show at the Overton Park Shell, starring Webb Pierce,
Red Sovine, Elvis Presley, Cash, and other country acts.

CD One continues
with a dozen historically-significant, pre-Sun demos by Cash, 11 of them
previously unreleased. These rare home-recorded demos served as blueprints to
such enduring Cash originals as “I Walk The Line,” “Get Rhythm” and “Country
Boy,” and provide new insight into Cash’s songwriting. Two of these demos would
soon turn into rockabilly hits for Roy Orbison (“You’re My Baby”) and Warren
Smith (“Rock And Roll Ruby”).

Under the heading Sun Rarities are seven
outtakes produced between late 1954 and late 1957 by Sam Phillips and Jack
Clement. In addition to familiar Cash titles (“Big River,” “Wide Open Road”),
there are covers of tunes by Jimmy Rodgers (“Brakeman’s Blues”), Marty Robbins
(“I Couldn’t Keep From Crying”), and Lead Belly (“Goodnight Irene”), an
indication of Cash’s abiding interest and love for the burgeoning folk music
movement, whose embrace of him was a hallmark of his career. CD One concludes
with two final demos, “Restless Kid” (later recorded by Ricky Nelson), and “It’s
All Over.”

The 25 tracks on CD Two span Cash’s first 11 years at Columbia
Records; he was ultimately with the label for 28 years, through 1986. This disc
presents a fresh gathering of Columbia non-album singles, outtakes, and B-sides
being released digitally for the first time in the U.S. (11 of them previously
unreleased in the U.S.).

The move to Columbia also meant a move to Los
Angeles for Cash and his family as he developed a taste for film and television
work, both as a songwriter and as an actor. In the Golden Age of TV westerns and
movies, Cash was a natural. His larger-than-life presence boosted the popularity
of the gunfighter ballads and Americana tales that became a pop music genre at
the end of the 1950s and into the ’60s, exemplified by such titles as “Restless
Kid,” “Johnny Yuma Theme,” and “Hardin Wouldn’t Run.” Another example is
“Shifting, Whispering Sands,” a spoken-sung collaboration with Lorne Greene,
better known as Bonanza TV patriarch Ben Cartwright.

The musical passions
of Johnny Cash – from traditional gospel and folk, to Tin Pan Alley and Music
Row, among many other sources – were given full rein in 1969, when The Johnny
Cash Show became a weekly event on ABC-TV. It is at that point, with the
evocative theme of the show’s central feature, “Come Along And Ride This Train,”
that Bootleg Vol. 2 concludes.

“To know the tree,” Kahn sums up, “one
should begin at the root – so goes an old saying. Yet one is well advised to
take in all the branches as well. From Memphis To Hollywood: Bootleg Vol. 2
offers the opportunity to hear Johnny Cash’s earliest performances plus a wealth
of unreleased and unfairly forgotten recordings, to grasp his commanding,
old-growth legend in full.”

Chuck Wicks Leaves RCA Records Label

Following an underwhelming single release with “Hold That Thought” as well as the continued exodus from the Sony/RCA Records family of labels includng Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson and Montgomery Gentry, Chuck Wicks
asked for and was granted his release from his music label contract
this week. Wicks’ manager Rick Barker said the split was an “amicable parting.”

Wicks was signed originally to the label back in 2007 and has had hits with songs like “Stealing Cinderella,” “Man of the House,” and “All I Ever Wanted.”
