New Johnny Cash Music

In the months leading up to his passing on September 12, 2003, JOHNNY CASH had been recording new material with producer Rick Rubin. On July 4, 2006, American V: A Hundred Highways, the all-new Johnny Cash album taken from those sessions, will be released on the American Recordings label through Lost Highway. It will include the last song Cash ever wrote, “Like the 309”.

Go to Johnny’s MySpace page…yes Myspace…to hear two of the songs from the upcoming release.

Baby play this for us.

MySpace bows down to Billy Bragg

Recently Billy Bragg objected to myspace.com’s clause in the fine print that said

“grant to Myspace.com a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide licence (with the rights to sublicense through unlimited levels of sub licensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit and distribute such content on and through the services.”

He pulled his music from the site and the battle ensued. Myspace have changed their clause to the following:

“MySpace.com does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, “Content”) that you post to the MySpace Services. After posting your Content to the MySpace Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose.”

and statement was issued by Bragg that can be read here.
