The King Is Back...

Forget about the Queen of The Whole Damn Universe because the King of Whole Damn Universe is back. No, not that King or that King. We're talking about the original gangster, the Man in Black, Mr. Johnny Cash!

A legend in his time and beyond, some of Johnny Cash's finest work came during his later years through his work with producer Rick Rubin. This collaboration yielded four majestic albums of intensely raw and brutally honest songs during Cash's life and one equally compelling posthumous release. Collectively, these releases are known as American Recordings Volume I-V and we highly recommend that you get down to your local independent record store and trade in everything you've got to get your ears around some of this greatness.

Why tell you all of this right now? Well good news came to us today when we heard that Johnny's final posthumous album is set to be released February 26th. Titled American VI, Ain't No Grave, this album serves as a bookend not only to the American series but to Cash's amazing collection of work. Can. Not. Wait!



PS For those shopping for birthday presents near the end of February we are inserting a birthday hint here.
