New Johnny Cash CD

RollingStone.com says that Johnny Cash's final recordings will soon be released. "American 6: Ain't No Grave" is coming out February 26th - what would have been his 78th birthday.

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."

The "American" series was very important to Johnny as it was something he worked on even after his beloved June died. Rick Rubin said, "Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive. I think it was the only thing that kept him going."
