Posted June 6, 200620 yr Better sound "Million Dollar Quartet" release in pipeline: From the latest issue of The Man & His Music magazine: "Set for release this year by BMG (or possibly FTD) is a repackaged version of the famed Million Dollar Quartet recordings. This will come from a much improved tape source and, for the first time, feature the material in its correct sequence. It will also run approximately 12 minutes longer than previous releases. December 4th 2006 marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic session, when Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash joined together for the first and only time for a jam session at Sun Records in Memphis".

June 8, 200620 yr Author Can't say I have heard much of Johnny Cash' music, is he good? Have to say I'm pretty biased where Johnny Cash is concerned cos I was practically raised on him, as my late father was a big fan B) Johnny, like Elvis, began at Sun Studios, but, unlike Elvis, he remained there for 3 years. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in JC following the release of a fantastic biopic film about him, called 'Walk The Line'! I would definately recommend seeing it, I loved it! His albums recorded in Folsom and San Quentin prison, are great, but his series of 'American Recordings' albums (the ones he recorded in the years just before his death) are simply amazing! I particularly love 'American IV', which includes a wonderful version of 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' (you can believe that he's singing it to his beloved wife, June Carter) and the emotional 'Hurt' which always makes me cry. If you get a chance, give him a listen ;) His style and voice is very different from Elvis, but like Elvis, he sings from the heart and you know that he's feeling the emotions of the song :D
