Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash's final collection of American Recordings will be released in July (July 4 in the US, Independence Day of course). American V: A Hundred Highways was produced by Rick Rubin, and contains the following tracks:

1 'Help Me'
2 'God's Gonna Cut You Down'
3 'Like the 309'
4 'If You Could Read My Mind'
5 'Further on up the Road'
6 'The Evening Train'
7 'I Came to Believe'
8 'Love's Been Good to Me'
9 'A Legend in My Time'
10 'Rose of My Heart'
11 'Four Strong Winds'
12 'I'm Free From the Chain Gang Now'

The songs are taken from Cash's final recording sessions in 2003. Rubin made the following statement:

"These songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear."

Reminds me

of when Joe Strummer died. I must've been in Year 9ish, and I came into school and was all, "OMG, Joe Strummer died!", but of course, nobody knew who he was.

When I said he was a member of a punk band called The Clash somebody had the NERVE to ask, "oh, are they anything like Green Day?"

Much like...

...last week when someone I was serving at work turned to her mate and asked "who the bloody hell's Desmond Dekker?".

The reply was something about "the Marmite advert bloke". Urgh.
