A Thing Called Love is an album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1972 (see 1972 in music). The title song was released successfully as a single (with "Daddy" as the B-side, as yet unavailable on CD), reaching No. 2 on the country charts; two more singles charted as well, while the album itself also reached No. 2 on the country album charts. "A Thing Called Love" was re-recorded by Cash for Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series (1988), while "Tear Stained Letter" was reprised on American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002). Important note about the song "Kate": the Canadian pressing of the album contains a completely different version of this song. Even the lyrics are not the same.
