Songwriter

“Songwriter” is the 72nd Studio Album (and 5th Posthumously Released Studio Album) by Johhny Cash.

The album was recorded as a series of songwriting demos at LSI Studios (then owned by Rosey Cash) in Early 1993, a time when Cash wasn’t signed to a label and shortly before he met Rick Rubin.

The tapes were shelved when Cash instead made the “American Recordings” album with Rubin, although he used re-recordings of the songs “Drive On” and “Like A Soldier” for that album.

After rediscovering the demos, John Carter Cash and David “Fergie” Ferguson stripped them back to just Cash’s vocals and guitar before overdubbing newly recorded parts by a new band, including several musicians who had worked with Cash such as Marty Stuart and David Roe.

The Album is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024, through Mercury Nashville.
