Briefly: Johnny and June Carter Cash, Michelle Branch, Edward Patten
Columbia/Legacy has set a June 7 release date for separate box sets compiling the music of late country artists Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
The Johnny Cash set, dubbed "The Legend," is a four-disc, 107-track collection that includes "every major Sun and Columbia recording, as well as 12 unreleased tracks," according to a press release. The collection will also be available in a limited-edition deluxe version of the set that will include a hardcover coffee table book with over 1,000 rare photos, a bonus CD featuring Cash’s first ever radio appearance in 1955 and a DVD of the 1980 CBS television special "Johnny Cash--The First 25 Years."
The two-disc June Carter Cash set, titled "Keep on the Sunny Side--Her Life in Music," represents the first comprehensive overview of the singer's career. It features 50 tracks recorded over a 64-year span.
People magazine reports that Michelle Branch and her husband, Teddy Landau (also the bassist in her band), are expecting their first child in August.
Edward Patten, a member of Gladys Knight & the Pips, reportedly died at a Detroit-area hospital Friday morning (2/25), a few days after he suffered a stroke. He was 65.
