Reveries for the laziest day of the week
23 February 2025
On 23 February 2010, today 15 years ago JOHNNY CASH‘s (1932-2003)
album AMERICAN VI: AIN’T NO GRAVE was released posthumously.
The songs were recorded during the same sessions as American V: A Hundred Highways (2006), in the final months of Cash‘s life. His voice sounds weakened and vulnerable at
times.
The LP peaked at #3 on the US Billboard Chart, selling 54,000 copies in its first week. American VI was the first release in the American Recordings series to contain no re-recordings of previously released songs.
The Times (UK) said: “Most soulful performances on
American VI are invested in Nashville standards”
