Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! is the debut studio album by American singer 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.”
Johnny Cash and his music are one — blending to produce the kind of songs that bridge the gap from heart to heart. As Johnny says, “There are three things you can’t get away from. Loneliness, that certain kind of woman, and God.” And so the songs in this album echo the sincerity of Johnny’s words and the universal truth of his experience.
When it comes to loneliness, you’d think Johnny invented the word. Naturally endowed with a rangy, big, hollow voice, Johnny’s melancholy mood comes through strong on such blue ballads as his composition, “So Doggone Lonesome” or the old railroad folk song, “I Heard That Lonesome Whistle.”
If there’s an answer to man’s loneliness, it’s Woman. A woman can change a man’s life completely. This is what Johnny says — a bit teasingly — in “I Walk the Line” (another Cash tune). This record, on single release, hit the top in the country and western field and also made “Top 20 in the Nation” in the pop field. Of course, you have to take the bitter with the sweet — hence, “Cry, Cry, Cry.”
Coming to the third inescapable element, Johnny in this album sings one song of a spiritual nature. There’s religious conviction in the strong, sensitive voice of Johnny Cash when he sings “I Was There When It Happened.” Those who know him say that Johnny’s religion to him is a very real thing, source of the peace he sings of so knowingly.
How does a young man of 23 get to be so serious, so soon? In Johnny’s case, it was a matter of facing hard, cold faces from childhood. Brought up on a 40-acre cotton farm at Dyess Colony, Ark., Johnny was one of six children. The Cash family, though of necessity hard-working, always had time to sing together, and it was at home Johnny acquired his love of music.
