Brandon Flowers and Others Cover “New” Johnny Cash Songs

French video series La Blogothèque has released a video of three performers covering tracks off of the upcoming Johnny Cash release, Out Among The Stars. As we previously reported, the new album puts together tracks that Cash recorded in 1981 and 1984, including one song that David Allan Coe had a hit with in 1985. This new video features Brandon Flowers (of the Killers), Father John Misty, and Local Natives each covering one song from the CD, performing isolated in the desert.

First, Flowers performs “I Came to Believe.” Father John Misty plays “Baby Ride Easy,” which is a duet by Cash and June Carter Cash on the album. Finally, Local Natives gives their take on the title song from the album, “Out Among the Stars.” Check it out.

If you want to hear a little more from the actual Johnny Cash album, here is another track that appears on the album. Johnny Cash joins Waylon Jennings singing the Hank Snow song, “I’m Movin’ On.”

Out Among the Stars hits stores Tuesday, April 1. For those excited about the new album from Johnny Cash, there are more unreleased Cash recordings in the vaults.

    1. Just received my copy from Amazon. I like the clip — it was probably more practical to feature covering artists than to resurrect JC himself. The album is also on YouTube where one can listen to the entire thing (before buying it, that is). It’s easily searchable but I’m not giving away the link here to avoid getting anyone into trouble…

      1. Thanks for the tip. You’re probably right about the reason they came up with the idea for the video of covers!
