Johnny Cash‘s estate is releasing Out Among The Stars, an album of never-before-released material that Cash recorded in the early 1980s for Columbia Records. The music comes from a recording session in 1981 and another session in 1984, both produced by Billy Sherrill. Columbia forgot about the recordings after Cash released his final album for the label, Rainbow, in 1985. (See our previous post about Rainbow and the record label dropping Cash.)
In a short promotional video for the upcoming album, Cash’s son, John Carter Cash talked about finding these recordings.
Out Among the Stars will be out among the stores starting March 25, 2014.
What do you think of “new” music being released after an artist has died? Leave your two cents in the comments.
