A new posthumous Johnny Cash album, Songwriter, filled with previously unreleased tunes written and performed by the Man in Black is set to arrive June 28 via Mercury Nashville/UMe.
The 11-track collection features songs Cash had written over many years, then finally put to tape during a demo session at Lsi Studios in Nashville in early 1993.

Songwriter features 11 songs written solely by Cash over the course of his then-40-year-long career. He made the album at Lsi Studios in Nashville during a period when he was between contracts, and it ultimately ended up shelved until his son, John Carter, and producer David “Fergie” Ferguson sought to finish it with a group of musicians who played with Cash, including Marty Stuart, Pete Abbott, the late Dave Roe, and others.
Today, ahead of the album’s release, Cash’s estate shared the single “Well Alright,” a classic story-telling song with an even-more-classic country arrangement, even down to the tinny lead guitar, train-shuffle beat, and folksy,...

“Get ready for a miracle!” reads a sign outside a tent in the music video for Marcus King’s new single “The Well.” Inside, the singer-guitarist provides just that, delivering a spiritual conversion to his following via a supercharged performance.
The first song off King’s upcoming album El Dorado, “The Well” is full of religious imagery: he sings about setting souls free, the fires of hell, and the good lord. King wrote the song with Ronnie Bowman and Dan Auerbach, who produced the album. Reid Long directed the video.
