Larry Gatlin And The Gatlin Brothers Release “Johnny Cash Is Dead And His House Burned Down”

In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Larry Gatlin says, “We decided to go back on the road because we got used to eating three meals a day and sleeping indoors. Just kidding — but it is part of it. That’s how we make our living. We didn’t take really good care of the money we made; that’s the bad news. The good news is we really love to sing music for people.”

After 17 years without a record deal, the Gatlins will release a new album, “The Pilgrimage,” this summer. The first single and music video off of the album is one that will draw lots of attention, “Johnny Cash Is Dead And His House Burned Down.”

“My first album was ‘The Pilgrim,’ and Johnny Cash wrote the liner notes for it,” Gatlin says. “His son, John Cash, wrote the liner notes for this one.”
