Stashed Johnny Cash album found in Sony vaults
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 12 December 2013
An LP’s worth of unheard Johnny Cash songs from the early-1980s, stashed in the late Man In Black’s vaults (or, more likely, in a box in the attic) till now, is to have a belated release in 2014.
Cash made ‘Out Among The Stars’ with producer Billy Sherrill over two sessions in 1981 and 1984. Carrying twelve tracks in all, the album includes duets with June Carter Cash and Waylon Jennings, plus a pair of Cash originals, ‘Call Your Mother’ and ‘I Came To Believe’.
Cash’s son John, who found the tapes in 2012 whilst logging his parents’ archives, says: “When my parents passed away, it became necessary to go through this material. We found these recordings that were produced by Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s. They were beautiful”.
‘Out Among The Stars’ is due out on Sony’s Columbia, who dropped Cash in 1986, thus contributing to the LP’s never being released first time around, on 24 Mar.
