Atomicat Records take you on a “Boom Chicka Boom" journey of rhythm, based upon the impact which Johnny Cash had upon the music world. The "Boom Chicka Boom" sound emerged in the formative years of rockabilly and is characterized by simple hard-driving rhythms and no-holds-barred emotional performances. The man dressed in black inspired countless artists to copy or develop his rhythm technique and often his vocal phrasing, and emotional approach into their recordings. The artists featured illustrate the impact that Cash had on popular music.
