New Johnny Cash songs released 21 years after star's death

New music from singer Johnny Cash has been released more than two decades after his death. The star wrote the songs in 1993, which were previously unreleased.

The new album titled "Songwriter" showcases songs that Cash wrote and recorded during a period when he was without a music label.

Johnny Cash recorded an album’s worth of self-written songs in 1993 while between record labels, but they were never released. These photos are a snapshot from that time. Songwriter, the brand new album, is available at midnight 🖤

The recordings, originally intended as demos, were set aside when the legendary artist began collaborating with producer Rick Rubin on the iconic "American Recordings" album, released in 1994. 

Rediscovered by his son John Carter Cash after thirty years, the tracks have now been compiled into a collection of 11 songs, including two singles that have already been released.

Fans can stream the entire album from Friday, June 28.
