Steevo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Any JC fans here heard this yet? "Out Among The Stars is a remarkable new album comprised of 12 recently discovered Johnny Cash studio recordings. The tracks were originally recorded in Nashville in 1981 and 1984 and produced by Billy Sherrill. The album features duets with June Carter Cash and Waylon Jennings plus songs penned by Cash himself. The recordings, which have never been released in any form, are not demos, outtakes or alternate versions. They remained in the vaults during the years Columbia Records released Johnny Cash's last albums for the label and were subsequently forgotten. The recordings first surfaced in 2012, when John Carter Cash was cataloging his father's and mother's exhaustive archives. "When my parents passed away, it became necessary to go through this material," he says. "We found these recordings that were produced by Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s…they were beautiful." Out Among The Stars is a great lost Johnny Cash album connecting the revolutionary rockabilly of his Sun Records years to the epochal final albums he made for American Recordings. Thirty years in the making, Out Among The Stars is a classic Johnny Cash album, about to be heard for the very first time". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adace1 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The singles from the album are great. The rest of the album kinda bored me to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I waited for some time for this to be released and have not been disappointed. His son is doing a great job going through the vault of recordings and is really releasing some gems. (FYI, in additon to this album, The Bootleg series are such an interesting look into the history of Johnny's music career) It is too bad the music industry turned it's back on Johnny in the 80s...this easily ranks as one of his best. "Rock and Roll Shoes" is just brilliant...a great tip of the hat to John's rock and roll early days. "She Used to Love Me A Lot" is just classic Cash and if it had been released in the 70s would have been a number 1 hit. "I Came to Believe" is such a great and personal confession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppster Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's just okay. Honestly not really a fan of that era for Johnny Cash. I love his 50s-60s stuff and the stuff he made with Rick Rubin from the 90s till his death. But in between he wasn't near as consistently good with his music. If you like JC like I do, you'll like it just fine though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
