Music News Two Johnny Cash Albums Planned For Release

Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness says covering Chris Isaak's ‘Wicked Game' for the new album ‘Born To Kill' continues a tradition that has seen the band reinterpret songs by The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and June Carter through the lens of California punk rock.

Ace Records honours the songwriting catalogue of Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan with a multi-artist tribute album featuring performances from Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Marianne Faithfull and more, tracing five decades of songs that reshaped American music.

September 12 stands as a milestone in music history, celebrated for legendary releases and the passing of iconic artists. Globally, it's the day The Beatles soared to No. 1 with “She Loves You,” Creedence Clearwater Revival dominated album charts with Cosmo’s Factory, and Pink Floyd unveiled the classic Wish You Were Here. Journey and Lauryn Hill also secured major chart triumphs, while the world mourned the loss of Johnny Cash. In Australia, the date carries its own weight with multiple number one singles and the birthdays of two significant artists.
