Songwriter is the sixth posthumously released studio album (73rd overall) by Johnny Cash. It was scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024, through Mercury Nashville.[1]
Produced by John Carter Cash and David R. Ferguson, the album contains eleven original songs by Cash: the album's lead single, "Well Alright", was released on April 23, 2024.[2]
Background
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.[1] The songs were written over several decades: "Drive On" was recent, "Hello Out There" and "Poor Valley Girl" have been dated to the late '70s and "Sing It Pretty, Sue" had appeared as the last track of the 1962 album The Sound of Johnny Cash.[1] The tapes were shelved when Cash instead made the American Recordings album with Rubin [2], although he used re-recordings of the songs "Drive On" and "Like A Soldier" for that album.[1]
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.[3]
