Technically, Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash isn't a greatest-hits collection, but it does contain a number of his greatest performances and singles, including "Ring of Fire," "I Still Miss Someone," and "The Rebel -- Johnny Yuma." These are supported by solid originals ("Forty Shades of Green," "I'd Still Be There," "Tennessee Flat-Top Box") and covers ("[There'll Be] Peace in the Valley," "Bonanza"), which help make the record one of Cash's best.
