Latest News: Posthumous Johnny Cash Album Songwriter Releasing June 2024
More than 30 years after he recorded them inside a Nashville studio, 11 of Johnny Cash’s unreleased songs are set to debut on a new posthumous album. According to Rolling Stone, Songwriter, scheduled to arrive on June 28, features tracks Cash put to tape during a 1993 demo session.
The forthcoming album isn’t a carbon copy of the recordings. The late singer’s son, John Carter Cash, reworked the demos, stripping them down to only Cash’s vocals and acoustic guitar, then worked with producers and other musicians to add instrumentation. Two featured collaborators are Vince Gill, who provides vocals for “Poor Valley Girl,” and the late Waylon Jennings, who sang with Cash on “I Love You Tonite” and “Like a Soldier.” A single from the skiva, “Well Alright,” has already been released.
Songwriter won’t be the first posthumous album for Cash, who died at age 71 in September 2003.

Johnny Cash: The Biography
He has also done considerable research, as the book is based heavily on interviews with Cash's daughters and in-laws (most notably Marty Stuart, who played with Cash on and off for almost 20 years), Marshall Grant (the last survivor of Cash's original bandmates), former manager Saul Holiff and other longtime friends and collaborators.
