More ‘lost’ Johnny Cash LPs in storage, says son
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 28 March 2014
Johnny Cash’s son, John Carter Cash, has said that the late Man In Black’s archive has more to it than was first thought, and that, in fact, it holds four or more albums’ worth of ‘lost’ songs. Who’d’ve thought? Not I, that’s who wouldn’t’ve.
Talking to The Guardian, Cash Jr spoke of a horde of unheard tracks that are still under wraps, saying: “There are a few things that are in the works right now – probably four or five albums if we wanted to release everything”.
That, plus enough outtakes from his father and producer Rick Rubin’s bout in the studio making all those ‘American Recordings’ LPs (the last of which, ‘American VI: Ain’t No Grave’, came out posthumously in 2010) to make another “three or four albums”. Though, Cash Jr told the Guardian: “Some of it may never see the light of day”.
All this, of course, falls nicely astride the release this coming Monday of ‘Out Among The Stars’, an LP of tracks dating back to the 1980s that were found stashed in Cash’s ‘vaults’ in 2013.
