A new Johnny Cash album featuring never-before-heard songs will be released later this year, it has been announced. The album, titled Songwriter, will be entirely composed of tracks penned by the country icon during a spell in 1993 when Cash was between recording contracts and holed up in LSI Studios in Nashville.
Discovered by Cash's son, John Carter Cash, and brought back to life with the help of producer David “Fergie” Ferguson and some of Cash's former collaborators including guitarist Marty Stuart, bassist Dave Roe (who passed away last year) and drummer Pete Abbotts, the songs represent a unique and previously uncelebrated chapter of Cash's storied career.
