As previously reported a new collaborative album Johnny Cash: Forever Words, will be released April 6th. Cash's unpublished writings were set to music by Chris Cornell, Elvis Costello, T Bone Burnett, The Jayhawks, and more and the results are nothing less than stunning. Cornell's contribution "You Never Really Knew My Mind" premiered last month and this week the collaboration featuring Elvis Costello premiered. Stream "I'll Still Love You" below along with a short video of Costello explaining how Cash's lyrics inspired him.
Johnny Cash: Forever Words serves as the musical companion to 2016's Forever Words: The Unknown Poems, a volume of Cash's (previously) unpublished writing. Pre-order the album here.
