radioAmerican Recordings set to release final set of Johnny Cash tracks
THE SIXTH and reportedly final album in the best selling 'American'
series of albums by Johnny Cash, 'American VI: Ain't No Grave'
will be released in February. Like its predecessors a collaboration
between the late country star and producer Rick Rubin, 'American VI'
features 10 songs recorded by Cash in the weeks leading up to his
death on 12th September 2003. One of the songs is a Johnny Cash original,
"First Corinthians", a song he wrote towards the end of his life
inspired by a line found in that book, "Death where is thy sting?".

This album album sends a shiver down my spine. There is something deeply moving about this songs, especially when you think that he recorded them facing his own death. Johnny Cash recorded so much good music during his life but for me he recorded his best and deepest music on his last two albums. ('American recordings V - a hundred highways' and this one) This is my album of the year. Its only february but I cannot imagine that I will hear a better one this year.
