Previously unreleased Johnny Cash songs 'Unearthed' for boxed set
"Cash Unearthed," a five-CD boxed set featuring 79 tracks recorded during Johnny Cash 's tenure with Rick Rubin's American Recordings, is scheduled to hit stores on Nov. 25.
Four of the five discs contain previously unreleased recordings. The fifth features a sampling of tracks from the four albums Cash recorded with Rubin between 1994 and 2002.
The discs are broken into five themes: "Who's Gonna Cry," "Trouble in Mind," "Redemption Songs," "My Mothers Hymn Book" and "Best of Cash on American."
Among the package's highlights are several previously unreleased duets, including Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" with Joe Strummer, Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" with Fiona Apple, Chuck Berry's "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" with Carl Perkins, "Cindy" with Nick Cave and "Like a Soldier" with Willie Nelson.
The set also includes a 104-page clothbound book containing one of Cash's final interviews, in which he and Rubin discuss the experiences they had working together. The interview also includes comments from Tom Petty, Roseanne Cash, John Carter Cash and others, as well as a track-by-track discussion of each song by Cash, Rubin and others, according to a press release.
