A new posthumous Johnny Cash album, Songwriter, filled with previously unreleased tunes written and performed by the Man in Black is set to arrive June 28 via Mercury Nashville/UMe.
The 11-track collection features songs Cash had written over many years, then finally put to tape during a demo session at Lsi Studios in Nashville in early 1993. But that project was ultimately scrapped after Cash met Rick Rubin and the two struck up a prolific creative partnership that lasted through Cash’s death in 2003.

An unreleased Johnny Cash album will finally see the light of day, thanks to his son John Carter Cash and a team of world-class country musicians. Titled Songwriter, the project was recorded in 1993, and will be released on June 28th via Mercury Nashville/UMe.
Songwriter features 11 songs written solely by Cash over the course of his then-40-year-long career. He made the album at Lsi Studios in Nashville during a period when he was between contracts, and it ultimately ended up shelved until his son, John Carter, and producer David “Fergie” Ferguson sought to finish it with a group of musicians who played with Cash, including Marty Stuart, Pete Abbott, the late Dave Roe, and others.
Today, ahead of the album’s release, Cash’s estate shared the single “Well Alright,” a classic story-telling song with an even-more-classic country arrangement, even down to the tinny lead guitar, train-shuffle beat, and folksy,...

What is your earliest memory of watching horror films?
Answer: The first horror film I ever saw in my life was when I was 5 years old and I wasn’t supposed to see it then because my parents thought I was in the bed asleep but I was laying in the hallway watching the tv in the living room from a distance. The film was “Jaws”. HBO was a brand new thing to households and we had just got cable. Needless to say I was scared to death to even take a bath after that,but…it was the beginning of a journey that is now my life.
You are cousin of June Carter Cash, Wife of Johnny Cash. Did this influence your decision to be in the entertainment industry?
Answer: Long before I ever knew who June Carter or Johnny Cash was, I was drawn to music and I loved to sing.

The defining moment of the new documentary Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon is when Johnny Cash says he found God in the darkness of East Tennessee’s Nickajack Cave in the fall of 1967. Cash, who retold the story many times in later years, was at the height of his fame and in the depths of his amphetamine addiction when he laid down in the cave to die before having a spiritual revelation: “I was going to die at God’s time,” he wrote in his 1997 autobiography, “not mine.

In late 2020, Caleb Caudle did the thing you’re not supposed to do when you’re focusing on a music career and moved from Nashville back to his North Carolina hometown. The onset of the pandemic had brought his touring operation to a complete standstill, leaving his future as a musician in grave jeopardy. It was a tough decision, but, along with the financial benefit, it made him see things in ways he hadn’t before.

That book and Lynn’s story gives her new album its title as well as its lone new original song, an affirmation of feminine strength and resilience that she shares with guests Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood.

It was what Snider was asked to recite: “Prayer,” an obscure song by the late John Hartford. “Every morning I wake up,” it begins, “Saying in the back of my mind/’This could be my last day on Earth/This could be the last time/I’ll ever feel … the warmth...

The Austin band tackle “Up on the Hill Where They Do the Boogie,” a freewheeling track off Hartford’s 1971 album Aereo-Plain.
While Hartford’s recording is breakneck and loose, the Band of Heathens slow theirs down into something deliberate and even mournful. Heathens singer-guitarist Ed Jurdi calls the song “a campfire cult classic.”

Ruston Kelly puts an atmospheric, modern spin on one of the most mournful ballads of the last century with his just-released version of the Carter Family’s “Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow.” Shortening the title to “Weeping Willow,” Kelly’s rendition of the historic tune replaces the classic mountain-bred instrumentation and three-part harmony of the 1927 original with a more dirge-like pace, adding steel guitar, spare yet dramatic drum beats, and synthesized effects to the singer’s aching vocal performance.

Very much in the manner of an “unplugged” acoustic album that showcases the musicianship of a major artist without distracting flash and filigree, “The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash” is a tightly focused yet impressively multifaceted documentary that attempts nothing less than to delve past familiar myths and illuminate the soul of its fabled subject. Director Thom Zimny, who took a similarly stripped-to-essentials approach to another immortal pop-culture icon in his widely acclaimed “Elvis Presley: The Searcher,” has fashioned, with the full cooperation of the Cash estate, a richly textured portrait infused with sympathetic but unvarnished honesty, one that likely will endure as necessary source material for any future biographer of the Man in Black.
The free-form narrative designed by Zimny and scripter Warren Zanes is anchored in the legendary 1968 concert Johnny Cash gave for inmates at California’s Folsom State Prison, an event that was recorded on a phenomenally popular live album,...

Sheryl Crow presents a disturbing commentary on the state of humankind in her new video for “Redemption Day.” The first release off her upcoming album for Nashville’s Valory Music Co., the stark piano ballad is a duet with Johnny Cash, who recorded his version of the song (Crow’s original appeared on her self-titled 1996 album) shortly before his death in 2003.
While the song is striking for its arrangement and the haunting verses delivered by Crow and Cash, it’s the jarring music video directed by Shaun Silva that leaves a mark.

The Grammy eligibility period ended on Sunday, September 30. The nominations won’t be announced until December 5, but everything that can be nominated has already been released. And as with movie studios, which often release their most competitive films towards the end of the year to make a strong last impression on Oscar voters, there are a number of last-minute music releases that have snuck into the Grammy race right under the wire. How many of them will make the cut?
The movie musical “A Star is Born” and its soundtrack don’t drop until October 5, so they won’t be eligible until the Grammys that will be held in 2020, but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper released the lead single from that album, “Shallow,” on September 27, so they could make the cut at this year’s awards with that song, especially if the enthusiasm for the film carries over to the recording academy as well.

Sparks flew when Johnny Cash first gazed upon June Carter backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in 1956, when their love story began. The eyes of the married man in front of her were as black and shiny as agates, she once recalled, and her fascination with them both worried and stirred her. "I only glanced into them," she said of that moment, "because I believed that I would be drawn into his soul and I would never have been able to walk away." Ultimately, she never did. "They met their match when they came together," Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum editor Michael McCall exclusively tells Closer Weekly. It took years before the ballad of Johnny and June as husband and wife could officially begin 50 years ago this month. Their union, which lasted until June's death in 2003, was a roller-coaster ride of extreme highs and lows, fueled by Johnny's battles with depression and drugs.

The Orbisons are no strangers to dark days: the singing legend’s first wife, Claudette, was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1966, and two years later, two of their sons died in a fire. Orbison himself was only 52 when he died in 1988.
So when Roy Orbison Jr. found himself sitting in a park visiting Stockholm, Sweden, in 2013, two years after losing his mother Barbara to pancreatic cancer, “I was very alone in life,” he tells People. And then he met Asa Hallgren “and I went from the darkness to the light,” he says. “Life has been bright and sunny ever since.

Brad Paisley is tipping his cowboy hat to our U.S. veterans.
Only Et was with the country star in San Diego last week, where he filmed his latest music video aboard the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier and alongside the iconic Unconditional Surrender kissing statue. The song, "Love and War," serves as the title track for Paisley's 11th studio album (out Friday) and delivers a pointed message regarding the treatment of vets right here at home with the chorus: "They say all is fair in love and war, but that ain't true, it's wrong. They send you off to die for us, forget about you when you don't."
"I think the message is, really, we can do better," Paisley says. "We can do a lot better when it comes to taking care of veterans. I don't think there's anyone who would disagree with that. There's a line in the song which is one of my favorite lines, 'We...

Johnny Cash was one of America’s “greatest poets,” according to troubadour turned Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, but he was also something a pack rat, his son John Carter Cash tells People.
