We built as if dad was in the room.

That’s what we tried to do.

The aptly titledSongwriter(available for pre-orderhere), features songs written solely by the one-and-only Johnny Cash.

Ive known John Carter since he was a boy, so it was great to finally work with him.

He gave me a lot of leeway, especially in terms of grooves and things.

We went right along the same page.

For John Carter,Songwriteris all about putting the spotlight back on his legendary fathers songwriting.

I want to put that in the forefront.
