Hello I'm Johnny Cash

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash is the 33rd album released by country singer Johnny Cash on Columbia Records in 1970 (see 1970 in music). "If I Were a Carpenter", a famous duet with Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, earned the couple a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1971 (see Grammy Awards of 1971); the song also reached No. 2 on the Country charts. The album also includes "To Beat the Devil", the first Kris Kristofferson song covered by Cash; the two would later collaborate numerous times, most famously on "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down". "See Ruby Fall" and "Blistered" were also released as singles, and the album itself reached No. 1 on the country charts and No. 6 on the pop charts. It was certified Gold on 1/29/1970 by the R.I.A.A. The album has been released on cd (Sony Music, Original Album Classics, along with "The Johnny Cash Show" and "Man In Black") and it has been made available on official download sites. This album is not to be confused with a (budget) best-of cd that has the same name.
