wnyc.org: "In the early 1970s, country legend Johnny Cash gave his daughter Rosanne a list of "100 essential country songs" that included tunes from Jimmie Rodgers, Merle Haggard, Bob Dylan, and Cash himself. Her upcoming album, The List, pays tribute to that study guide (with a little help from Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Rufus Wainwright, and others). Today, Rosanne Cash joins us in WNYC's Greene Space to share songs from the record in a live performance." Read on

Johnny Cash
BR2: "Der amerikanische Sänger und Songwriter Johnny Cash ist einer der bekanntesten Vertreter der Country-Musik. Er schrieb 500 Songs und bekam 15 Grammys. Seine große Liebe war June Carter - der er während eines Konzerts von der Bühne herunter einen Heiratsantrag gemacht hatte."
Franz Dobler
HR: "Franz Dobler hat die amerikanische Ikone in einem vielgelobten Buch gewürdigt: "The Beast in me - Johnny Cash und die seltsame und schöne Welt der Countrymusik" ist gleichermaßen Biografie und Fanbrief, Kulturgeschichte und Liebeserklärung."
dradio.de: "Als "Man in Black" ging Johnny Cash in die Musikgeschichte ein. Mit Liedern wie "Ring of Fire" oder "I Walk the Line" landet er weltweit Erfolge. Doch mit dem Gedenken an den im Jahr 2003 verstorbenen Sänger und Songwriter tun sich die Country-Hochburgen in den USA schwer." Weiter
Again, a new CD by Johnny Cash has been released. The Great Lost Performance, isn't that great in my opinion, but the CD contains a few gems for the hardcore fan:
The album includes his first performance anywhere of his original "What Is Man?," his only recorded version of country gospel's "Wonderful Time Up There" and "A Beautiful Life," and his only concert version of the genre's "Life's Railway To Heaven," whose studio version by Cash was released only posthumously.

I just bought Johnny Cash's latest CD. The double CD features 49 previously unreleased songs recorded between 1973-82 which his son recently discovered on tapes labeld "Personal Files" in Cash's former museum. Those songs feature only his voice and his guitar.
The CD booklet claims, that hundreds of tapes were discovered, so I guess we can expect more personal files to come.
billboard.com "Like the 309," the last song written by Johnny Cash before his death, will be included on "American V: A Hundred Highways." Due July 4 via American Recordings/Lost Highway, the album was recorded with producer Rick Rubin in the months leading up to Cash's September 2003 passing.
"These songs are Johnny's final statement," Rubin says. "They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear." More
Personal File
A trove of sparse solo recordings Cash made in the 1970s will be released May 23 via Columbia/Legacy under the heading "Personal File". Amidst ephemera of all sorts stored in a room behind his recording studio, Johnny Cash kept hundreds of tapes. Within that trove was a set marked "Personal File," which turned out to be a pot of gold.
These solo recordings, made mostly in the 1970s, find the country music icon performing everything from what producer Greg Geller describes as "late-19th century parlour ballads to mid-20th century country hits ... songs inspired by recent events and experiences ... songs of faith and inspiration."
