<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The latest official music video from ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words’ (out now/Legacy Recordings) finds newlyweds Ruston Kelly &; <a title="Kacey Musgraves" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMusgraves/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkacey-musgraves-tickets%2F">Kacey Musgraves</a> turning a love letter that Johnny Cash wrote to June Carter Cash into an all-new ballad. It was filmed at the remains of Johnny and June’s home at Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tennessee. </span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ruston originally started composing “To June This Morning” as a teenager, based on a love letter that Johnny had written to June as she descended the kitchen stairs one morning in 1970, eight months pregnant with their son John Carter Cash. Years later, when Ruston was asked by John Carter to contribute to this album, he asked his then-fiancée <a title="Kacey Musgraves" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMusgraves/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkacey-musgraves-tickets%2F">Kacey Musgraves</a> to record the final version with him. </span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The video begins with <a title="Willie Nelson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSWNelson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fwillie-nelson-tickets%2F">Willie Nelson</a> &; Kris Kristofferson’s contribution to ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words,’ called “Forever/I Still Miss Someone.” A thematic prologue to both the album and the video, “Forever/I Still Miss Someone” features two of Johnny’s old friends and collaborators: Willie plays the melody to one of Johnny’s songs (&#8220;I Still Miss Someone&#8221;) while Kris recites one of the final poems Johnny ever wrote, called &#8220;Forever.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Says John Carter Cash, “To me, the essences of the tracks &#8220;Forever/I Still Miss Someone&#8221; and &#8220;To June This Morning&#8221; are both of hope. My father wrote the poem &#8220;Forever&#8221; weeks before his passing. &#8220;To June This Morning&#8221; has the same hope; the words were written in February of 1970, one month before my birth. Together they represent Dad’s enduring hopes, the beauty of faith and the belief in all the good to come&#8230;even in the face of his own mortality.&#8221;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A collaborative album of Johnny Cash’s unknown poetry, lyrics, and letters now set to music by an astounding array of contemporary artists, ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words’ was released on Friday on Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash passed, they left behind what John Carter Cash describes as a &#8220;monstrous amassment” of things, including a treasure trove of undiscovered material that includes Johnny Cash’s handwritten letters, poems and documents, penned across the entirety of his life.</span></p>

Muldoon also contributes liner notes on the album. Many of the songs on ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words’ were directly inspired by material in the book while others are drawn from different sources of Cash&#8217;s unpublished writings.</span></p>
