The most famous country music artist of all time, Johnny Cash, sounds as vital as ever on this collection of previously unreleased recordings from 1981. These recordings were shelved by the artist's then-label, Columbia Records, and remained unheard until 2014.
- The recordings were made in 1981 with Al Gore's father, Al Gore Sr., as producer.
- The album was produced by Cash's son, John Carter Cash, who also produced Cash's previous posthumous album, American VI: Ain't No Grave.
- Out Among the Stars was a commercial success, reaching number 1 on the Top Country Albums chart.
Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter whose music bridged country, folk, and rock and roll. He is one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice and his song lyrics that often touched on the struggles of life. This posthumous release arrived late in Cash's career, over a decade after his death, with some observers noting that the recordings sounded as vital as anything he had done in his prime.
