The release is notable in that it contains two songs - "It's All Over" and "Old Time Feeling," - which hadn't appeared on any Johnny Cash album before.

"It's All Over" was first released as a single in September 1976, peaking at #41 Country (a.k.a. C&W). This song was previously demoed at House of Cash in Hendersonville on July 11, 1973, appearing 33 years later on Cash's Personal File double CD. The 1973 demo of "It's All Over" is the only available (cd/mp3) version of this rare song as of June 2010. This was until the Reader's Digest box set The Great Seventies Recordings was released featuring this version of "It's All Over"

"Old Time Feeling" was then rush-released as Cash's next single in October 1976, reaching the Top 30 at #26 C&W.

"I Wish I Was Crazy Again", featuring Waylon Jennings, had only recently been featured on the album I Would Like to See You Again in April 1978. It was first released as the B-side of the popular #2 C&W hit "There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" (also with Jennings and also from the aforementioned album). By November 1979, popular demand caused "I Wish I Was Crazy Again" to be issued as an A-side, almost making the Top 20 at #22 C&W.

The album itself reached No. 49, despite the fact that a third of its contents had only just been featured a few months earlier on the album I Would Like to See You Again and two other tracks from the less-than-a-year-old The Rambler.

[es] Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3

Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 como el nombre sugiere es la tercera parte de los más grandes éxitos del cantante country Johnny Cash lanzado en 1978 bajo el sello disquero Columbia. Las partes anteriores Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 y Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 lanzados en 1967 y 1971 respectivamente tuvieron mayor éxito que este CD pero de este se desprenden canciones como "Old Time Feeling" y "It's All Over" porque no habían salido en ningún otro CD de Cash más dúos con Waylon Jennings en las canciones "Old Time Feeling" y "I Wish I Was Crazy Again" quien ya había aparecido con Cash en el CD anterior llamado I Would Like to See You Again lanzado ese mismo año. El álbum llegó hasta la Posición #49 mientras que los sencillos publicitarios llegaron a los puestos #26 y #22 respectivamente.
