SONGWRITER: A NEW ALBUM FROM JOHNNY CASHIn early 1993, the legendary Johnny Cash recorded an album’s worth of songwriting demos he’d written over many years. Some thirty years later, John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny and June Carter Cash, rediscovered the songs and stripped them back to just Johnny’s powerful, pristine vocals and acoustic guitar. Along with co-producer David “Fergie” Ferguson, the two invited a handpicked group of musicians that played with Johnny, including guitarist Marty Stuart and the late bassist Dave Roe, along with drummer Pete Abbott and several others, to the Cash Cabin, where Johnny would write, record and relax, to breathe new life into the tracks, taking the sound back to the roots and heart of the songs.
Releasing June 28th, Songwriter features songs written solely by Cash, one of America’s greatest songwriters and storytellers. The 11-track collection will be available digitally, as well as on CD and a variety of vinyl options, including standard black and several limited-edition color variants.
Songwriter’s first single, “Well Alright,” is out now. The track is prime Johnny Cash, harkening back to his ‘50s hits such as “Get Rhythm,” “Five Feet High and Rising,” “Cry! Cry! Cry!” and “Big River.”
