A continuation of the 40-year recording career of one of the most
popular country music performers of our time, this second volume
(the first published by Greenwood in 1985) follows Johnny Cash's
recording activity from 1984 through 1993. New to this volume are
the Billboard Chart Listings, which follow the popularity of any
one Cash release, and the combined Sessions Index for 1954 through
1993. An Appendix details several pre-1984 sessions not contained
in the first volume. The index serves as a quick cross-reference of
song titles, musicians, composers, producers, and studio locations.
This volume is designed so that each section will complement and
act as a cross-reference to the others. For example, the Sessions
section will give session date, location, list of musicians,
producers, composers, song titles, and first release information,
as it pertains to singles, albums, and CDs. Then follows a Releases
section, which gives a wider view as to the number of releases and
contents. This listing will include domestic as well as foreign
issues. The Billboard Chart Listings chapter is a tool for
following the popularity of a single and/or album (CD) on both the
Pop and Country charts week by week. Appendix B is an alphabetical
listing of all singles and albums (CD) that have appeared on the
Billboard charts from 1954 through 1993, making it easy to locate a
certain entry in the listings section. The Sessions Index includes
sessions from the 1985 volume as well as those pre-1984 sessions
from Appendix A. The two volumes serve as a 40-year history for
music historians, students of country music, and fans of Johnny
Cash.
This discography gives as complete a recording history as possible
of Johnny Cash, using a listing of more than 500 recording sessions
that he participated in as a singer, musician and/or composer.
These sessions produced over 1400 master recordings, all listed in
the Song Title Index of this discography. The finished product is
covered in a listing of some 245 singles, 58 extended play albums
and 455 long-play albums released in the United States and Europe.
By using his recording sessions, including location, date,
musicians, titles and composers credits as a reference, a profile
emerges of 30 years of consistent popularity and record sales.
This catalog is divided into four major sections: singles,
extended-play albums, long-play albums, and compact discs. An
appendix lists the liner notes Cash has written for his own
releases, as well as those of a number of prominent performers over
the years. It also lists music videos Cash has appeared in. An
accompanying index is a composite of the four sections and the
appendix, listing albums and compact disc titles as well as the
song titles included in those releases.
Johnny Cash's popularity seems to have reached new heights
during 1994, making this Catalog, along with the two earlier
discographies, invaluable to fans, who will appreciate the
comprehensive coverage. That coverage includes over 1,000 song
titles on 228 different record labels, 431 singles, 108
extended-play albums, 1,408 long-play albums, and 254 compact discs
from the United States, Canada, and 26 foreign countries.

In addition to his relationship with the Holly organization (he
gave up his seat on the plane that would crash shortly after
take-off from Mason City, Iowa, in February 1959 killing Holly,
Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson, The Big Bopper), the Sessions
section shows Waylon's association with Willie Nelson, his
partnership with Nelson, Cash, and Kris Kristofferson in forming
the Highwaymen group, and his success in the rejuvenated country
music world. Uncompromised, he continues to produce his own brand
of Waylon Music. The Discography numbers 360 pages, including
extensive Releases and Billboard Chart sections, making this a
comprehensive reference work. Johnny Cash and Johnny Western both
contributed forewords for their great friend and colleague.
