Chris Cornell, Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson Elvis Costello And More Turn Johnny Cash’s Poems Into Songs
Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release Johnny Cash: Forever Words–a collaborative album consisting of songs created from Johnny Cash’s unknown poetry, lyrics, and letters set to music by an astounding array of contemporary artists–on Friday, April 6.
When Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash passed, they left behind what John Carter Cash, their son and Johnny Cash: Forever Words co-producer, describes as a “monstrous amassment” of things, including a treasure trove of undiscovered material that includes Johnny Cash’s handwritten letters, poems and documents, penned across the entirety of his life.
Over the past two years, album producers John Carter Cash and Steve Berkowitz invited a stellar cast of musicians to create new music to accompany these newly discovered Cash writings.
Recorded primarily at The Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Johnny Cash: Forever Words is also the musical companion to the best-selling “Forever Words: The Unknown Poems,” a volume of Cash’s unpublished writing edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon and curated by John Carter Cash and Steve Berkowitz.
Many of the songs on Johnny Cash: Forever Words were directly inspired by material in the book while others are drawn from different sources of Cash’s unpublished writings. The tone of the album is established with the opening track “Forever/I Still Miss Someone” featuring Kris Kristofferson reciting the last poem Cash ever wrote alongside guitar accompaniment from Willie Nelson, both lifelong friends of Johnny. Continuing the close-to-home theme, the music then transitions to the deeply personal “To June This Morning,” a letter Johnny wrote to his wife, June Carter Cash, now interpreted by real-life couple Ruston Kelly and Kacey Musgraves.
Twenty-one years after Johnny Cash recorded his cover of Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage” for his Grammy Award winning album, Unchained, Chris Cornell continues this special relationship with “You Never Knew My Mind,” setting some of Cash’s own poignant and introspective words to original music on one of Cornell’s last solo recordings.
The album also showcases Rosanne Cash, Johnny Cash’s eldest daughter, who interpreted her father’s “The Walking Wounded,” marking just the second time that she has collaborated on a record with her half-brother John Carter Cash.
John Carter Cash also collaborated here with his half-sister Carlene, his mother June’s first daughter, on “June’s Sundown.” Carlene Carter was just twelve years old when her mother June Carter married Johnny Cash, but bonded immediately with her stepfather who she referred to as “Big John.”
The Grammy Award winning bluegrass super-group Alison Krauss & Union Station made a rare recording together on “The Captain’s Daughter,” the group’s first new studio recording in six years.
“Determining the artist for each song was truly a matter of the heart,” said John Carter Cash. “I picked the artists who are most connected with my father, who had a personal story that was connected with Dad. It became an exciting endeavor to go through these works, to put them together and present them to different people who could finish them in a way that I believed that Dad would have wanted.”
When making the Johnny Cash: Forever Words album, producers John Carter Cash and Steve Berkowitz tapped into a spirit of musical collaboration between the musicians and the words of Johnny Cash. The goal of Johnny Cash: Forever Words was not to create a “lost” Johnny Cash album, but rather for musicians to connect with these poems and allow them to flourish in a new musical world.

Award winning actor, writer, composer and humanitarian Lin-Manuel Miranda will unveil a new Salsa-music remix of “Almost Like Praying,” his all-star benefit single recorded last Fall to benefit the Hispanic Federation’s “Unidos” Disaster Relief Fund, for hurricane recovery and rebuilding initiatives in Puerto Rico. Spanish Broadcasting System (the “Company” or “SBS”) (OTCQX: SBSAA), has teamed up with Lin-Manuel Miranda to world premiere a one-of-a-kind, historic radio launch the Salsa-remix “Almost Like Praying” on Thursday, February 8, 2018 at 10:30 AM EST, in New York (Mega 97.9FM), Miami (El Nuevo Zol 106.7FM) and Puerto Rico(Estereotempo 96.5FM). Miranda himself will introduce the single followed by an interview, live from the SBS studios in New York City. Miranda himself will introduce the single followed by an interview, live from the SBS studios in New York City.
U.S. radio listeners can tune in to one of SBS’s radio stations: WSKQ-FM MEGA 97.9FM IN NEW YORK, WXDJ-FM EL NUEVO ZOL 106.7FM IN MIAMI, and ESTEREOTEMPO 96.5FM WRXD in Puerto Rico for a chance to hear the historic Roadblock.
“The benefit single ‘Almost Like Praying’ has had tremendous success with audiences worldwide,” said Lin-Manuel Miranda. “As we now continue to help establish long-term self-sustainable initiatives to rebuild Puerto Rico, we are thrilled to bring this new version to Salsa-music fans. Although it has been over four months since Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the island still needs much help to get its most basic infrastructure up and running – including electricity, roads and bridges, healthcare and other vital programs.”
The original “Almost Like Praying” was released for download and streaming on October 6, 2017. Within its first week, it hit number one in digital sales in 17 countries. 100% of the proceeds have gone to the Hispanic Federation’s “Unidos” Disaster Relief Fund, which has sponsored hundreds of initiatives to assist in the relief, recovery and now rebuilding of Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory since 1898.
“Lin-Manuel Miranda fans couldn’t be more excited about the release of ‘Almost Like Praying,’ and we’re incredibly thrilled that LaMusica’s App partnership gives our subscribers early access to this long-awaited Salsa-Remix,” said Raúl Alarcón, Chairman, President, CEO of SBS. “Together, SBS and LaMusica App are connecting people who are passionate about music with the world’s most iconic artists through unique experiences like this – and there are many more to come.”
“We have a long history of collaborating with Lin-Manuel Miranda in innovative ways over the years,” said Jesus Salas, EVP of Programming of SBS & Multiplatform Coordinator. “He’s once again proved that he’s a true innovator, and we are honored to partner with him on the historic launch of his new Salsa-Remix. Our nationwide world premiere of ‘Almost Like Praying’ will reach millions of Lin-Manuel’s fans across the country – while creating millions of new ones.”
Both the original (dancehall beat) and the new Salsa-remix of “Almost Like Praying” are distributed by Atlantic Records.
The lyrics of “Almost Like Praying” are a rhyming arrangement of all 78 municipalities of Puerto Rico….78 hometowns, 78 communities, 78 sets of individuals who together make up the Puerto Rican culture. The track also samples “Maria” from WEST SIDE STORY in order to reclaim the name of the hurricane which destroyed everything Puerto Ricans know and love on their island.
To download and streaming “Almost Like Praying,” please visit http://www.almostlikepraying.com. The Salsa Remix will be available on Friday, February 9, 2018 at 12:01 PM EST, after one day of exclusive air time on SBS radio stations.

Do We Know What We Think We Know About Rosa Parks?
We all know Rosa Parks as the “tired old lady” on a bus who unknowingly sparked a civil rights firestorm by refusing to give up her seat in Montgomery, Alabama. But is that true? Not entirely. Rosa Parks was in fact a civil right activist who spent years fighting for justice and she knew exactly what she was doing. In fact, she wasn’t even the first black woman to refuse to give up her seat. The truncated version of the story we all know today eliminates many of Ms. Parks’ most incredible achievements, particularly her many years fighting for civil rights.
So why do we all know a misleading story about Rosa Parks? Watch the episode to find out.
Short Cuts: The Best Songs Heard On February 8, 2018 From The Indie World
Grad Party
Make You Better
They met at college. Bowers plays guitar. Ladd plays the keys. Both of them sing. How come there were no people like this when I went to school? I would have killed to be their third in a trio, even without any of my musical talent, just to watch how the magic of songwriting happens. Just soulful and lovely.
Niclas Lundin
Something About You
This Swedish-based writer has penned songs for Rick Springfield, Andreas Moe, and James LaBrie, which continues for everyone else in the music industry to ask, what is in the water over there? Invest in him, and you’ll find the rewards of great songwriting and performance, right here.
The Unlikely Candidates
Oh My Dear Lord
At the same deep end of Imagine Dragons’ pool, this band is more straightforward to get to the punch, and still has as much of the verve to ward off the competition. I bet they’re killer live.
Set Mo
Nightmares Feat. Scott Quinn
This banger of a track’s verses move forward until you know the big chorus is coming up. It doesn’t disappoint. So compelling, I listened to it twice before taking a breath and sharing it here.
The Engagement
Home (featuring Hayley Beatson)
Melbourne’s Fox FM described the project as “a cool 80’s/retro sound”, while Triple M personality Jane Gazzo simply called it “Fantastic”. I LOVE both stations, so this was an interesting listen for me – a cross between Muse and Coldplay, it’s organic enough to get them fans, and fast. Watch this song climb the charts if there’s any justice.
Michel Bellens
Only Love
More poppier than R&B, more silkier than your bedroom sheets, this is a gorgeous soul anthem in the making.
Clement Bazin
Romeo
An exercise in the house genre influence still being felt today. It’s a long way from the 90s, but this sends me back right into those clubs.
Sealab
Stardust
Formed in DC in 2013 by a group of college friends with a mutual love for Radiohead, hypnotic grooves, and improvisation, they turn the rock genre on its head, revealing every ambition and coolness it should always have.
Mr Gabriel
Millennial Falcon
A knack for creating ear-worming melodies that cut through the sheer noise of whatever else you’ve heard today.
Tai Shan
Oldest Lullaby
Written about a woman who was addicted to the sand that would make her sleep from Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel Sandman. So, if you’re a fan of him, or Eva Cassidy, or just a soothing sound before falling into slumber, you’ll be playing this one a lot.
Gerry Liberty
Boom Boom
Let’s take a wild guess. Play this one, and you’ll be wanting to go to a club in seconds. You, too, right? Find grooves from start to finish.
Markus meo
Let’s Be Together
Born in Glasgow, and now based in Australia, Markus has the elegance of MOR 80s hit singles, and that’s a really tough style to do without irony. But there’s a reason why those songs still hold up, prom after prom. Staggering in the vibe and sound.
Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) Gets Released On Friday, April 6
Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, and RCA Records will release Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) on Friday, April 6.
The musical companion to the two-part documentary directed by Emmy and Grammy award winner Thom Zimny, Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) will be available in digital and physical configurations including an 18-track definitive soundtrack, a 2LP gatefold 12″ vinyl edition and a 3CD collectible deluxe box set.
Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) includes the 18 essential Elvis Presley hits, powerful performances, and rare alternative versions of songs at the musical core of the groundbreaking three-hour two-part film which focuses on the development of Elvis’ spellbinding artistry, from his early blues and country roots and influences through his seismic contributions to popular culture to his 1976 recording sessions at the Jungle Room in Graceland. The two-part documentary film, which will premiere in the United States on HBO on April 14, 2018, uses rare footage lensed throughout Elvis’ life and career as a means of exploring Elvis’ singular musical vision in all its complexity.
The 3CD deluxe box set features 37 additional Elvis cuts plus a special disc featuring selections from Mike McCready’s(Pearl Jam) original score for “Elvis Presley: The Searcher”; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performing “Wooden Heart”; and the music that inspired Elvis (including R&B and country classics and “Home Sweet Home” sung by his mother, Gladys Presley). The Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) deluxe 3CD set includes a 40-page hardcover book featuring rare photography, liner notes by Warren Zanes, and a director’s note by Thom Zimny.
In his package notes for Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack), director Thom Zimny writes, “the soundtrack was in my mind from the beginning. I wasn’t just making a film, I was thinking about the collection of recordings I would gather for a person who saw the film, who wanted to complete the experience, just as I always had. Thankfully, our friends at Sony gave me and the Searcher team the chance to create this collection. It’s been in my mind for years now. To me, this collection is part of the film.”
“So, in this collection, one gets not a Greatest Hits package but a song-by-song, curated portrait of an artist,” writes Warren Zanes in the book featured in Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack [Deluxe Box Set]), “….an artist who very consistently and courageously gave himself to his performances, as if in the giving he might find some missing part of himself. The truth in his voice, in the end, was the sound of a searcher. Along the way, he built a catalogue as deep as any found in the broad and beautiful vistas of American music.”
As Bruce Springsteen observes in the documentary, Elvis Presley belonged to a singular category of musicians in the pantheon. “You hear performers in the thrall of the beauty of invention, not knowing quite where they’re going to go, not knowing exactly what they’re doing,” Springsteen said. “Just discovering and doing it literally as the music is being played…. You’re out on the frontier and it’s a very pristine and exciting place to be.”
“You know, God bless him,” said Tom Petty. “He was a light for all of us. We all owe him for going first into battle. He had no road map and he forged a path of what to do and what not to do. And we shouldn’t make the mistake of writing off a great artist because of all the clatter that came later. We should dwell in what he did that was so beautiful and everlasting, which was that great, great music.”
Elvis Presley: The Searcher (The Original Soundtrack) is available for pre-order now:

ELVIS PRESLEY: THE SEARCHER, an HBO Documentary Films production, in association with Sony Pictures Television, debuts in the United States on SATURDAY, APRIL 14 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO.
Priscilla Presley, David Porter (legendary Memphis music writer and producer), Thom Zimny (director), Jon Landau(producer) and moderator John Jackson (SVP A&R, Sony Music) will discuss the film, the cultural impact of Elvis’ music and how that impact became the embodiment of rock ‘n’ roll at the 2018 SXSW Festival in March.

Howard Stern to Honor David Bowie with Radio Special Exclusively on SiriusXM
Howard Stern and SiriusXM announced today The Howard Stern Tribute to David Bowie, a special honoring the legendary musician. The radio event will premiere on Friday, February 9, exclusively on Stern’s SiriusXM channel Howard 101.
“When I got into rock & roll music, one of the artists that I first really got into was David Bowie,” said Stern. “He was always evolving, he was always on top of things, he was just a great musician and a great songwriter and a great singer. I want to make sure that people remember David Bowie.”
The Howard Stern Tribute to David Bowie will feature a wide variety of artists inspired by the late musician, performing his songs with their own inventive styles and interpretations. The contributors range from legends such as Peter Frampton, Daryl Hall, and Todd Rundgren; to recent breakthroughs including Greta Van Fleet, Biffy Clyro, and The Struts; and a rare collaboration between rock stalwarts Umphrey’s McGee, Huey Lewis, and saxophonist Jeff Coffin.
Each artist selected and performed their songs exclusively for Stern’s special, with Peter Frampton recording before a live audience.
The tribute broadcast will be hosted by Bowie’s long-time producer Tony Visconti. “David Bowie’s lasting influence on music, past, present, and future is absolutely phenomenal. He will be played a hundred years from now,” Visconti said. “I’m glad we can share these fantastic interpretations of his songs. The people who rose to the occasion for the Howard Stern tribute did an amazing job.”
