Country legend Johnny Cash’s career was one of the longest and most successful in Country Music.
 
In celebration of what would have been Cash’s 79th birthday, a special two-disc set titled “Bootlegs 2” will be released.
 
The collection will mostly feature recordings from the very beginning of his career and towards the end when he moved to L.A. to pursue film and television.
 
The first disc covers his early years in Memphis, a dozen demos, 11 of which have never been released, and seven outtakes from when he was with Sun Records. The second disc contains non-album B-sides and outtakes recorded between 1958 and 1969, following Cash’s move to the West Coast.
 
“Bootlegs 2” will be available in stores and online on Cash's birthday, Feb. 22.
