Columbia Records 1958-1986 [compilation]

Johnny Cash

℗ 1987 Columbia Records UNW 00634

Johnny Cash • 1987 • Columbia Records 1958-1986

Released in 1987, Columbia Records 1958-1986 is an excellent summary of his two and a half decades at the label, even if it is not perfect. First of all, the title is slightly misleading, because this compilation stops roughly around 1986 and the one new track, the opener "Oh, What a Dream," is really an outtake from the early '60s. Appropriately, the set favors music made in the late '50s and '60s, since that was Cash's artistic and commercial peak; out of the 20 songs, only four are from the '70s and only three date from the '80s. This isn't really lopsided, since this is his most popular music released on Columbia and, even though he made interesting records throughout his time there, it's also his best. There are some notable omissions — "Daddy Sang Bass" isn't here, along with "The Rebel — Johnny Yuma" and "Understand Your Man," not to mention a number of smaller hits — but it hits most of the big songs ("I Still Miss Someone," "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," "Ring of Fire," "Boy Named Sue," "Sunday Morning Coming Down"), and overall provides a good, concise overview of his greatest hits for Columbia. This collection has since gone out of print, and while it hasn't been replaced by an equivalent Columbia-only collection, nearly all the tracks here are on the 1992 box set The Essential Johnny Cash. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Ring of Fire

Thunder, you're tempting me 
A feast of spice in the night is what I need 
Ooh I'm a-ready to roar 
And I'm a-ready for more 
Well I'm a-ready to burn like the light into the dawn 

Oh I gotta see the fire in me turning into ecstasy 
So stick around and settle down, enjoy the mystery 
A voice in the wilderness, there's somethin' in the air 
A hidden love, forbidden pleasure, suffer secret pain 

Thunder 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Feels like fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Ring of fire 

Heartless, so indiscreet 
You're stealing up from behind, a raging heat 
I'm staring into the sun 
I'm staring into a gun 
I'm stirring up a storm 
Turn it on and let it burn 

Oh I gotta see the fire in me 
Turning into ecstasy 
So stick around and settle down 
Enjoy the mystery 
A voice in the wilderness 
There's somethin' in the air 
A hidden love, forbidden pleasure, suffer secret pain 

Thunder 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Feels like fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Ring of fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Oh, feels like fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Ring of fire 

Thunder, you tempted me 
Ya cut me up, like a knife so tenderly 

Oh I gotta see the fire in me 
Burning up my ecstasy 
A hidden love, forbidden pleasure, suffer secretly 

Oh no 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Feels like fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Ring of fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Feels like fire 
Are you ready, ready for thunder 
Ring of fire
