“Klipsch lives by the ‘No Bullshit’ mantra and when you look back on the history of music, there are few artists who better possess that than Johnny Cash,” said Klipsch CEO Paul Jacobs. “Music Masters is such an intimate experience and we are honored to pay tribute to the ‘Man in Black’, another American badass.”

To millions of fans, Johnny Cash is a country-music legend who sang in an authoritative baritone about the travails of working men and the downtrodden. Cash, one of the earliest signees to Sam Phillips’ Sun Records back in 1955, was part of an elite club of rock and roll pioneers at Sun that included Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The four were collectively referred to as the “Million Dollar Quartet” after an impromptu gathering and jam session at the Sun recording studio on December 4, 1956.
