Bob is joined by John Carter Cash to discuss his exciting new project which has brought us a brand new album by his father Johnny!

'Songwriter' takes Johnny Cash's vocals and guitar from a 1993 demo session and fleshes them out into full songs with help from musicians who had played with Johnny in the past, people like Marty Stuart and the late Dave Roe, alongside the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, Vince Gill and - incredibly - Waylon Jennings!

'I wanted it to be songs that mostly people hadn't heard and that paid close attention to who he was as a songwriter and
who he was as an American voice', said John Carter. 'One of my most important focuses in the past 10 years is to make sure that history, as best that I can possibly, is to give history the opportunity to notice
him as the great writer he is. Bob Dylan says he's one of the greatest writers of all of American written music and I agree. I want to put that in the forefront. His writing voice specifically is a certain voice, that I
think if America wants to know their history, that's a good place to look. Johnny Cash is definitely one true voice that we can listen to, specifically to his writings'.
