Johnny Cash and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

• Track Listing

Johnny Cash + string orchestra? Actually, it’s an inspired idea, as Johnny’s flair for the dramatic and his deep, rich voice blend beautifully with understated orchestrations by arranger Robin A. Smith and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Jimmy Webb said, "I always wondered what it would sound like if Johnny and his bandmates had an orchestra behind them." Now we can all find out; produced by Nick Patrick and Don Reedman and executive-produced by John Carter Cash, this new album takes original Cash performances (some of which are from previously unreleased alternate takes) and puts them in sublime new settings. Behold, on CD or vinyl, "I Walk the Line," "Ring of Fire," "Highwayman" (with Waylon, Willie and Kris Kristofferson), "Man in Black," "Farther Along" (with Duane Eddy), "The Loving Gift" (with June Carter Cash), "Girl from the North Country" (with Bob Dylan) and more!
