These are Johnny's final recordings.
The "American" series has been produced by Rick rubin who is on board for this one too.
This new CD will feature the original tune "I Corinthians: 15:55" which Johhny wrote during his last three years of life. Johnny will also cover Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times," and Sheryl Crow's 1990's track "Redemption Day."
