To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Johnny Cash joining Sun Records and the release of “Original Sun Sound of Johnny Cash”, we’re inviting musicians and fans alike to join in on the #CashCovers70 Challenge! This is your chance to honor the Man in Black by putting your own spin on his classic hits like “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk the Line,” and “Cry! Cry! Cry!”!

    2. Record Your Cover: Record a video performance of your cover. Be creative – you can stay true to the original sound or put your own spin on it!
    3. Post & Tag: Submit your cover to this forum. Post to Instagram or TikTok, using the hashtag #CashCovers70 and tag @SunRecords to gain an extra submission!
