Yesterday a new album of Johnny Cash was released, comprised of his final recordings. Amazon has an MP3 download for sale for $3.99.
From a review in Relevant Magazine:
If you’ve heard any of the other American recordings, you know what to expect: a spare, frail Cash using his still-powerful baritone to sing songs (mostly about his always-favorite topics of love, God and death) over spare instrumentation assisted by thundering and perfectly meshed instrumentation. That style is displayed best on the title track, where Cash still manages a half-snarl challenge to death (and rejoicing at the resurrection of the dead) over brushed snare, banjo and foot stomps (the latter two provided by members of the similarly Rubin-assisted Avett Brothers).
Another highlight is the Cash-penned “1 Corinthians 15:55.” There’s something still powerful in hearing an elderly man sing about his own mortality—particularly when his work is being released posthumously. “
I think the best song on the album is probably “Redemption Day.” Definitely worth listening to.
Here’s a video someone put together where you can hear “Ain’t No Grave”:
