The Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1976 and The Johnny
Cash Christmas Special 1977 are the first releases to
come out of the exclusive agreement between Shout! Factory
and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, which
allows Shout! Factory to release DVDs taken from television
shows archived in the Museum and representing many of
country music's all-time top artists. These DVDs will
mark the first time in 30 years that these Christmas specials
have been seen.
Johnny and June Carter Cash went to their homes in Bon
Aqua, and Hendersonville, Tennessee to tape The Johnny
Cash Christmas Special 1976. After opening the show, Johnny
takes guest Tony Orlando for a ride around his property,
teasing him about country versus city life, and promising
that "June makes the best snake and potatoes around."
In addition to several stellar performances, including
"Christmas As I Knew It," the special includes
a medley of songs from Stephen Foster, "a man from
the North," Cash says, "who wrote such great
things about the South." The Johnny Cash Christmas
Special 1976, which originally aired December 6, 1976,
on CBS, also features special guests Roy Clark, Merle
Travis, Barbara Mandrell, and Billy Graham.
The Johnny Cash Christmas Special 1977 includes an all-star
tribute to Elvis Presley, who had passed away two months
prior. Taped at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House, fellow
Sun Records labelmates and rockabilly pioneers Carl Perkins,
Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison join Cash on "This
Train Is Bound For Glory" in memory of Presley, whose
affinity for such sacred music was well known. In addition
to a selection of Christmas songs, many hit singles are
performed on this special, including Perkins's "Blue
Suede Shoes," Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman,"
and Lewis's 1957 Sun smash "Whole Lot Of Shakin'
Going On." Cash goes on to recall a life-changing
holiday season he experienced while stationed in Germany
in the early 1950s. "I was lonesome, homesick and
had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life,"
he explains. "But one day I walked four miles through
the snow to a little pawn shop where there was a guitar
in the window with a five-dollar price tag."
In recent years, Shout! Factory has cultivated a deeper
relationship with the country music community, releasing
country titles such as Solomon Burke's Nashville, Jessi
Colter's Out Of The Ashes, and John Prine Live On Soundstage
1980. On September 4, Shout! Factory released a collection
of home movies from former Museum Artist-In-Residence
Cowboy Jack Clement (a longtime friend of Johnny Cash)
titled Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan.
