Description:

Introducing the new album from Johnny Cash titled Songwriter. Johnny Cash recorded an albums worth of unreleased, self-penned songs in 1993 ahead of him signing with American Records and his releases with Rick Rubin that re-established himself as one of worlds best songwriters to a new generation of fans. Songwriters 11 songs have been updated by his son John Carter and longtime producer David Ferguson. In early 1993, the legendary Johnny Cash found himself between contracts in his then nearly 40-year career and recorded an albums worth of songwriting demos at LSI Studios in Nashville of songs hed written over many years. LSI at the time was owned by his son-in-law Mike Daniels and daughter Rosey, and he wanted to help the family financially while also record some songs special to him. Not long after the fruitful session, Johnny met producer Rick Rubin, and the recordings were shelved as the two embarked on an important and prolific musical partnership that revitalized the Man in Blacks career that would last the rest of his life. Some thirty years later, John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny and June Carter Cash, rediscovered the songs and stripped them back to just Johnnys powerful, pristine vocals and acoustic guitar. Along with co-producer David Fergie Ferguson, the two invited a handpicked group of musicians that played with Johnny, including guitarist Marty Stuart and the late bassist Dave Roe, along with drummer Pete Abbott and several others, to the Cash Cabin, a hallowed space in Hendersonville, Tenn. where Johnny would write, record and relax, to breathe new life into the tracks, taking the sound back to the roots and heart of the songs.
