The Man In Black-His Greatest Hits is a compilation album released on Columbia Records in 1999. It is a two disc set including 30 songs (15 on each disc). Even though it was released on the Columbia label, it does contain some of his Sun recordings, which were allowed to fall in the Public Domain, as well as his Columbia recordings. Two tracks, "What is Truth" and a duet with Bob Dylan, "Girl from the North Country", appear on an American Johnny Cash album for the first time.
