First to record Roy Orbison and others, He wrote and produced historic records for best friend Johnny Cash, and he produced what many believe to be the highlight of the much-vaunted Outlaw Movement of 1970s Nashville, Waylon Jennings' Dreaming My Dreams. He conceived and produced what was likely country music's first story-oriented "concept album": Bobby Bare's A Bird Named Yesterday, released in 1967. He arranged the horns on Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire., as well as producing U2 at Sun Studio in 1987(several songs from Rattle And Hum).
