During the late 1960s and early ‘70s, Johnny Cash introduced country fans to hand-picked artists they might not have otherwise encountered and variety show watchers to some of the best of contemporary country, all while raising his popular stature through his weekly TV show. This "best of" anthology is a little more random than its title suggests, omitting the duet with Bob Dylan from the program’s debut (perhaps the best remembered highlight from the series) in favor of a duet with then-emerging Joni Mitchell ("Girl from the North Country") and a hokey arrangement of "I’ve Been Everywhere" with Lynn Anderson. Yet Ray Charles’ soulful recasting of "Ring of Fire" is a revelation, and a roster ranging from Eric Clapton’s Derek and the Dominoes to Roy Orbison, George Jones, and (separately) Tammy Wynette made for some memorable television. --Don McLeese
