Canine Covers: Johnny Cash, American Recordings

Here at Nick’s Vinyl Picks I photograph my pup with beloved records and publish guest pups with other people’s dogs nestled with their favorite slices of hot wax.

But, there is an entire world of great records that already come with dogs on them.

American Recordings, Johnny Cash’s brilliant 1994 comeback album recast him as an Americana outlaw on a different spiritual and philosophical plane then his Nashville peers. The next record in the series would feature Johnny backed by a simpatico Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Its a truly great album too but it doesn’t feature any (oddly, likeable) hell hounds on it’s front cover.
