"Cry! Cry! Cry!" and "Hey, Porter"--Johnny Cash (Sun, 1955)


Here are both sides of Johnny Cash's first single at Sun Records on Sun #221, opening with "Cry! Cry! Cry!" then "Hey, Porter!"

Johnny composed both these songs himself and is backed by the Tennessee Two, comprising of guitarist Luther Perkins and bassist Marshall Grant.

Recorded at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, with the former cut perhaps in May of 1955 and the latter recorded on March 22 of that same year.

Released on Sun #221 on June 21, 1955.
