Johnny Cash Nick Cave Duet Unearthed

A massive collection of previously unreleased John Cash recordings recorded with Rick Rubin will be released soon and it will include a duet with Nick Cave.

Cave will be heard with Cash on the song 'Cindy' on disc three of the five CD 'Unearthed' package due next month.

The five disc set will include out-takes and unused songs from the four American Recordings albums produced by Rubin, an album of new songs and a compilation.

In this new collection we will hear Cash's interpretations of Steve Earle's 'Devil's Right Hand', Roy Orbison's 'Down The Line' and Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold' and 'Pocahontas'.

Discs one to three are titled 'Who's Gonna Cry', 'Trouble In Mind' and 'Redemption Songs'.

Disc four is a new album titled 'My Mothers Hymn Book'. The 15 songs on this disc were all personal to Johnny and taken from his mother's book of hymns that she sang to him as a child.

Disc five will be the best of the previously released American Recordings albums.

Tom Petty, Fiona Apple and the late Joe Strummer will also be heard through-out the boxed set singing for the first time with the country music legend.

The 64 track collection will be released in November.
