Big news for fans of the Man in Black: Johnny Cash has a NEW ALBUM coming this summer, more than 20 years after his death. It’s called “Songwriter”, and it will be out June 28th.
It’s a collection of 11 original songs he wrote and recorded demos for in 1993. He passed away a decade later in 2003.
Only two of them have ever been released in any form: “Drive On” and “Like a Soldier” were both on his “American Recordings” album in 1994.
The other nine songs are brand new . . . or, “brand new” to US anyway. He wrote them over 30 years ago.
His son John Carter Cash found the demos and rounded up a bunch of musicians to help flesh them out.
