2024 albums

Unless one has listened to Cash’s 80s and early 90s stuff before he hooked up with Rubin and albums of unreleased songs already put out after Cash’s death buying this would be utterly pointless. These are basically Cash’s discarded ideas from his most fallow artistic and commercial period.

Cash has like 100 albums out almost all of which nobody listens to. 98% of people just listen to a hits compilation, live ant Folsom or San Quentin and mostly the Rubin stuff.  And we’re going to dig up this unused stuff?


Johnny Cash’s legacy is secure without these sorts of projects. I don’t get it.

Sure they do….unless they sold out the estate gets the revenues from publishing, etc.

Moreover, I doubt this project even recoups costs. You think there are thousands of people going to buy or stream this?

As best I can guess this is a vanity project and for John R. Cash to have something to do…and to keep Cash’s name out there…
