Mean As Hell! - Ballads From The True West
Johnny Cash
Release information
Year
1966
Label
Columbia
Description
"Mean As Hell!" is essentially an edited down version of "Sings The Ballads Of The True West" as all recordings on MAH were lifted off STBOTTW. The reason seems to be that Columbia thought it easier to sell the album as a single LP. Consequently the entire "Mean As Hell!" album was reissued along with all CD versions of Ballads of the True West.
