Review :
{^The Fabulous Johnny Cash} was {$Cash}'s first album for {@Columbia Records} and one of his best for the label. Unlike some of his latter-day albums, there wasn't much filler on the record. At the time of its recording, {$Cash} had just been freed from his contract with {@Sun}. Instead of recording these songs for his last {@Sun} sessions, he wound up saving much of his best material for his {@Columbia} album, and that's what makes {^The Fabulous} so consistent. The album builds on his basic, spare sound, but it is slightly more polished than his {@Sun} records. But what makes it so entertaining are the songs themselves. From {&"Don't Take Your Guns to Town"} and {&"Frankie's Man, Johnny"} to {&"Pickin' Time"} and {&"The Troubador,"} the album is filled with first-rate songs, with only a handful of mediocre songs like {&"Suppertime,"} which don't distract from the overall quality of the album at all. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
