Johnny Cash recorded an album’s 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 world’s best songwriters to a new generation of fans. Songwriter’s 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 album’s worth of songwriting demos at LSI Studios in Nashville of songs he’d 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 Black’s 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 Johnny’s 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.

John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter. His music often explored themes of sorrow, moral reflection, and redemption, particularly in his later work. He had a deep bass-baritone voice and was accompanied by the Tennessee Three, a backing band noted for its distinctive guitar rhythms. Cash was known for performing prison concerts and frequently wore an all-black stage wardrobe, which led to his nickname "Man in Black."
Cash was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, to a family of cotton farmers. He grew up listening to gospel music and performed on a local radio station during high school. He served four years in the Air Force, including time stationed in West Germany. After returning to the United States, he became prominent in the mid-1950s rockabilly scene in Memphis, Tennessee. In his concerts, he often introduced himself with "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," followed by performances of songs such as "Folsom Prison Blues." Other notable songs from his career include "I Walk the Line," "Ring of Fire," "Get Rhythm," and "Man in Black." He also recorded humorous tracks like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue," duets with his future wife June such as "Jackson," and songs about railroads including "Hey, Porter," "Orange Blossom Special," and "Rock Island Line." Later in his career, Cash covered songs by contemporary rock artists, including "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden, and "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.
Cash sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His work encompassed country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel music. He was inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. His life and career were depicted in the 2005 biographical film "Walk the Line."
