The Man in Black 1954–1958

The Man in Black 1954–1958 is a Bear Family Records 5-CD box set of Johnny Cash's music. It contains every known recording from Sun to Columbia from the years 1954-1958. It's the first of three box sets in the Man In Black box set series.

The box itself is shaped as a square border box as it holds cases for the discs, and a booklet for a welcome bonus.
