John Carter Cash Releases His Father's 'Lost Album'

Soundcheck | Mar 27, 2014

To music fans, the idea of a “lost album” can be intoxicating. But new releases touted as “lost albums” often end up being collections of B sides, outtakes and demos.

But that is not the case with the new album "Out Among the Stars" by the late Johnny Cash. He recorded it in 1981 and 1984 during the final years of a contract with Columbia Records. The album reveals much about the man behind “the man in black.”

In a conversation with Soundcheck host John Schaefer, John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash and a co-producer of Out Among The Stars.
