New Johnny Cash Album, ‘Songwriter,’ Brings to Light 11 Original Compositions He Recorded but Never Released in 1993
A Johnny Cash album, 'Songwriter,' will bring to light 11 original songs he demo-ed but never released, with Marty Stuart among those completing it.
These original compositions make for an intriguing find, given that the country legend was a revered songwriter when he set his mind to it, yet he primarily relied on outside material throughout his career. Carter Cash found his co-producer for the fresh sessions in David “Fergie” Ferguson, who intimately knew the Man in Black’s sound, having engineered projects for the star for 30 years (including work on the final albums with Rubin). The new cast of musicians that recently completed these recordings for release include country star and historian Marty Stuart, Average White Band drummer Peter Abbott and Cash’s touring bassist, Dave Roe, who died last year after working on the new album.
