Mac Wiseman Sings "Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride", released by RCA Records in 1970 (LSP-4336), is the Wiseman album that takes its title from the duo of country stars whose songs make up the program — Johnny Cash hits like Ring of Fire, Big River, and Ballad of a Teenage Queen alongside Charley Pride material like All I Have to Offer You and The Easy Part's Over. The crossover concept was characteristic of Wiseman's RCA tenure: the bluegrass singer reaching openly into mainstream country songwriting and proving his easy baritone could carry it. The LP belongs to the productive run of late-1960s and early-1970s Wiseman albums that kept him visible on country radio even as bluegrass moved past its mid-century peak.
