Hello, I'm Johnny Cash was released in 1970 as Cash's first album of the decade. It reflects his consolidation as an international star following the success of his television shows and tours.
Recorded at Columbia Studios in Nashville, the album was produced by Bob Johnston, who had previously worked with Cash on earlier records. It includes a mix of original songs and covers of contemporary artists.
The album reached number 6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and number 28 on the Billboard 200. It is notable for its simple, direct cover featuring Cash in his characteristic black shirt.
