New Johnny Cash Album Artwork Released- More Details On Album Emerge

The February edition of Vanity Fair reveals that the release date of the Rick Rubin produced Johnny Cash album American VI: Ain't No Grave is in fact the 23rd of February on American Recordings/Lost Highway. Rubin's interview with Lisa Robinson reveals there will be a Cash original ("First Corinthians"), the title track (a traditional gospel tune) and a version of Sheryl Crow's "Redemption Day." The latter, says Rubin, "is a song [Cash] brought in and loved. He said he'd give up all the other songs just to be able to do that one; it was his favorite, content-wise." Asked about the overall feel of the album, the producer/friend states: "American V was more touching; it felt like sadness and death. VI has more power; it's more like being reborn - like the phoenix rising from the ashes."
