A couple of weeks ago George pointed me in the direction of Songwriter a "new" album by Johnny Cash. He recently followed that up with a text complimenting the album something I was in complete agreement with. It also prompted me to write a post about it.
Although only released on June 28th the album was recorded as a series of songwriting demos at LSI Studios in early 1993, a time when Cash wasn't signed to a label and shortly before he met Rick Ruben and commencing the iconic American Recordings series
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 11 track album has been critically well received with an aggregate score of 77/100 on the Metacritic aggregator.
In years to come I think that it will be considered as American Recording Minus One.
Very nice. Thank you CC (and George)
