Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Story Songs Of The Trains And Rivers" is a themed concept album by the legendary "Man in Black," Johnny Cash, backed by his original band, The Tennessee Two (Luther Perkins on electric guitar and Marshall Grant on upright bass). Released in 1962, this album delves into two recurring and powerful motifs in American folklore and Cash's own songwriting: trains and rivers. The songs are typically narrative-driven, painting vivid pictures of life on the rails, the journeys of people, and the symbolic power of rivers, often delivered in Cash's signature resonant baritone. The stripped-down sound of The Tennessee Two, with its distinct "boom-chicka-boom" rhythm, perfectly complements the often somber, authentic, and evocative storytelling. This album is a testament to Cash's deep connection to American history and working-class narratives, and his ability to craft timeless, compelling musical tales
