Title: Johnny Cash documentary
Post by: Rocker on January 17, 2018, 01:11:04 PM
It looks like Thom Zimmy will direct a new documentary about Johnny Cash, after he is finished with HBO's The Searcher (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,25180.msg627921.html#msg627921) about Elvis Presley.

Knowing nothing about Thom Zimmy, does this have the chance to be a really good documentary?

If so I’m excited as hell for this.

Neither do I. But I am hearing very good things about his Springsteen documentaries, so hopes are very high for the Presley movie to be released in April. I guess we just have to wait and see.

That’s great. Cash is one of my favorite artists - talk about an extensive music catalogue.

Rocker, did you ever hear his post-humous ‘Out Among The Stars’ album? Came out of nowhere, and it’s pretty good, imo.

I only listened to a couple of samples online. And I saw the video to the new version of "She used to love me a lot" which I found incredibly stupid, as it's got nothing to do with the song. I also don't see why anyone would think that song needed a new instrumental track. But maybe I missed something.

Well I think the remade instrumental track was just a bonus cut on the actual album (not sure about the music video, sucks if they used the modern backing track for promotional purposes haha). I guess that it wasn't really an expected album it was nice to get some new Cash material that is pretty good quality.

Yeah, certainly. I'm not too much of a fan of his 80s stuff though.

Anyway, a couple of days ago marked the 50th anniversary of the recording of Johnny's "Live at Folsom Prison" album.

So, this is not about the documentary (I guess it will take a while until there are more news about that). But there's a new project that has musicians writing music to some of Johnny's unused lyrics. It's called "Forever words" (a book was already released). Something similar was done for a Hank Williams sr. project years ago.

Saw this on facebook:


“The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash”, with support from the Johnny Cash estate, will premiere on YouTube Tuesday, October 8. Taking the remarkable Folsom Prison recording as a central motif and featuring interviews with family and celebrated collaborators, the 90-minute documentary explores the artistic victories, the personal tragedies, the struggles with addiction, and the spiritual pursuits that colored Johnny Cash's life.
