These great moments captured in 1962 come to life in this full-color collection. There are not many active performance photographs from the Walk The Line era because Johnny Cash was so active on stage that many photographs would come out blurry with the limited camera technology of that time. It took a very talented photographer with a steady hand and perfect timing to capture these moments on film.

John and Peggy Clemens led an incredible life as early Country Music entertainers The Wyoming Ramblers, and continued their journey as hosts to their entertainment friends when they came off the road and opened The Thunderbird. Peggy was an avid photographer and the creative eye behind this amazing collection.

The very essence of the Man in Black and others capture in these ultra-rare photographs are a worthy addition to your collection. A full range of sizes are available from desk top to large format, including custom sizes larger than 24”x 36”

Texas Peggy and John Clemens, The Wyoming Ramblers, late 1930s - 1950s. This is where the legacy began, on the road, touring and sharing the stage and friendships with some of greatest Country Music performers of their time.

Johnny signed this press photograph in 1964 to Peg and John and then to me in 1995. It was a full circle moment. His signature changed over time to a more abbreviated version. In a recent auction, there was a check signed by Johnny Cash to George Jones for $750, one weeks pay for performing on his 1962 concert tour. The photograph of George Jones in this collection is from that same tour.
