Johnny Cash’s posthumous album Songwriter released

American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash’s new posthumous album Songwriter has officially been released via Mercury Nashville.

Songwriter features 11 songs written by the country artist across his legendary career.

The record was recorded in 1993 when Cash was between labels, but after he met Rick Rubin a few months later, he shelved the demos and ultimately released 1994’s American Recordings instead.

Upon rediscovering the project recently, Cash’s son John Carter Cash and producer David R. Ferguson set out to complete Songwriter, building new tracks around the original vocals and acoustic guitar.

Carter Cash and Ferguson also enlisted the help of a group of musicians, including Marty Stuart, Dan Auerbach, Vince Gill, and more for the album, with the late Waylon Jennings appearing on the tracks 'I Love You Tonite' and 'Like a Soldier'.

"The musicians that came in were just tracking with Dad, recording with Dad,” said Carter Cash when the album was announced in April.

“In the case of Marty and Dave [Roe], they had [played together] many times before, so they knew his energies, his movements, and they let him be the guide. It was just playing with Johnny once again, and that’s what it was. That was the energy of the creation.”

Earlier this month the second single off the album, ‘Spotlight’, was released as part of the artist's posthumous record, following 'Well Alright' in April.
