Cool, Spec.
Pops, all of those Johnny Cash songs (except Sunday Morning Coming Down) are on the "Unearthed" box set of the American Records recordings he did toward the end of his life.
I have the set and all five discs are really good. One of them is just gospel music.
It also comes with a neat book.

There is another three disc set that contains basically all of his earlier stuff, and it has been remastered and sounds good.

Finally, everyone knows about the San Quentin and Folsom albums, but the live 1969 show at Madison Square Garden is, to me, a much better concert. He was touring with Carl Perkins, The Carter Family and the Statler Brothers, and they all play a song or two in addition to JC's terrific set.

Those three sets/CDs will give you basically his whole career in nine discs.
But if you can only get one, I'd probably get the Madison Square Garden show. It's one of those discs that you can listen to over and over and over and over.
It's sad to me that so many people who would LOVE Johnny Cash never have a chance to listen to him because they don't like country music. Johnny Cash is not country music. I don't know what to call it, but it's definitely not country music.
Here's the video of him doing the Nine Inch Nails song
"Hurt"
Here's him doing
"You'll Never Walk Alone"
Awesome.
