Late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, Ruston Kelly, Kacey Musgraves, Rosanne Cash, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley and more are among the all-star contributors to Johnny Cash: Forever Words, a new Johnny Cash tribute album which will feature songs based on his letters, poems and lyrics. The new collection is the musical accompaniment to the 2016 book Forever Words: The Unknown Poems. “The tone of the album is established with the opening track ‘Forever/I Still Miss Someone’ featuring Kris Kristofferson reciting the last poem Cash ever wrote alongside guitar accompaniment from Willie Nelson, both lifelong friends of Johnny,” reads a statement. “Continuing the close-to-home theme, the music then transitions to the deeply personal ‘To June This Morning,’ a letter Johnny wrote to his wife, June Carter Cash, now interpreted by real-life couple Ruston Kelly and Kacey Musgraves.” Johnny Cash: Forever Words track list: “Forever/I Still Miss Someone” – Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson “To June This Morning” – Ruston Kelly and Kacey Musgraves “Gold All Over the Ground” – Brad Paisley “You Never Knew My Mind” – Chris Cornell “The Captain’s Daughter” – Alison Krauss and Union Station “Jellico Coal Man” – T.
