Johnny Cash American recording acoustic gtrs

I believe the guitars he played on the record were Martins (maybe a D-15 or something, I'm not too familiar with Martin guitars).

As for recording of that record. I seem to remember seeing video of Johnny Cash sitting on a couch with only two mics. Both were silver AKG 414's, one one for vocals and one on guitar. That doesn't mean that's what was settled on or what went down to tape. I also remember reading an interview by Mr. Cash when the record came out. He said all performances were cut live to tape there was no editing at all.

"I know a lot of producers were engineers who graduated to being producers, but I can't imagine what qualifications an engineer would have to be a producer. To me, it's just a different job, but there are some great engineers who become great producers. Again, I don't know what they do. I only kind of know what I do, and I'm not too sure of that. "
