Cash in the attic.

A new Johnny Cash album was released this week called Out Among The Stars compiled from old tapes, thought lost for more than 30 years, that were found quite recently in an attic. For me, this is the stand-out track. Stripped back and simple, it proves once again that all Johnny Cash ever needed were three chords and the truth. I’d love to complement this song with a tale of a chance meeting with a lost love but that would be three chords and a lie. In truth, I’d probably cross the road to avoid most of my ex-girlfriends. Or more likely, it’d be the other way round.
