840 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The definitive chronicle of the Man in Black - eighteen years of research distilled into one monumental reference work. From a homesick airman cutting an acetate disc in Munich in 1954 to the final, fragile take of "Engine 143" at the Cash Cabin Studio in August 2003, Rolf W. Rödel traces every note Johnny Cash committed to tape. Over 1,400 studio sessions, more than 120 live performances, and countless unreleased demos are documented with unprecedented precision - complete with musicians, producers, master numbers, and take-by-take details. Pickin' Time maps the raw boom-chicka-boom of Sun Records, the landmark prison concerts at Folsom and San Quentin, the legendary Nashville sessions with Bob Dylan, and the stripped-back acoustic intimacy of the American Recordings era under Rick Rubin. Built on primary sources from the Country Music Hall of Fame and the American Federation of Musicians, this sessionography corrects decades of discographical errors and fills gaps no previous work has addressed. A landmark achievement in music scholarship - and an essential companion for anyone serious about the legacy of Johnny Cash.
