so they're going to put out a second posthumous album culled from his last American sessions before his death.

Rick Rubin Works On A Sixth Johnny Cash Album
by Paul Cashmere

Feb 14, 2007


A second album of songs from the final Johnny Cash sessions will be released as 'American IV' in 2007.

Cash recorded excess songs in his final sessions, the first half of which were released earlier this year as 'American V', the fifth album in a series of Rick Rubin produced albums dating back to 1994.

Tracks expected to surface on 'American VI' include a cover of Sheryl Crow's 'Redemption Day', recorded just weeks before Cash's death.

Cash also recorded Doug Kershaw's 'Louisiana Man'. That song is also expected to be included on the album.

'American VI' may also include the already available 'A Satisfied Mind'. The Rubin produced track surfaced on the soundtrack to 'Kill Bill Vol. 2'.




tentative tracklist, according to ManInBlack.net

San Antonio

Redemption day

Here Comes a boy

That's enough

1st Corinthians 5:55

I cant help but wonder

Nine pound hammer

North to Alaska

His eyes on the sparrow

If I could hear my mother pray again

The eye of an eagle

Don't take everybody for your friend

Belshazzar

Loading coal

A half a mile a day

Flesh and blood

I am a pilgrim

Beautiful dreamer

Ain't no grave hold me down

Family bible

Redemption day is a great song.

johnny cash is more prolific than tupac!

they'd end up with ten-volume series of box sets of posthumous collaborations, i'm sure.

and then they can do a live duet on American Idol, just like those other 2 deceased superstars Elvis and Celine did last week.
