In early 1993, the legendary Johnny Cash found himself between contracts in his then nearly 40-year career and recorded an album's worth of songwriting demos at LSI Studios in Nashville of songs he'd written over many years. LSI at the time was owned by his son-in-law Mike Daniels and daughter Rosey, and he wanted to help the family financially while also record some songs special to him. Not long after the fruitful session, Johnny met producer Rick Rubin, and the recordings were shelved as the two embarked on an important and prolific musical partnership that revitalized the Man in Black's career that would last the rest of his life. <br/> <br/>Some thirty years later, John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny and June Carter Cash, rediscovered the songs and stripped them back to just Johnny's powerful, pristine vocals and acoustic guitar. Along with co-producer David "Fergie" Ferguson, the two invited a handpicked group of musicians that played with Johnny, including guitarist Marty Stuart and the late bassist Dave Roe, along with drummer Pete Abbott and several others, to the Cash Cabin, a hallowed space in Hendersonville, Tenn. where Johnny would write, record and relax, to breathe new life into the tracks, taking the sound back to the roots and heart of the songs.

Johnny Cash dog den 12 september 2003. Månaderna innan hans död spelade han in nytt material tillsammans med producenten Rick Rubin. Albumet "American V: A hundred highways" innehåller låtar skrivna av låtskrivare som Hank Williams, Rod McKuen, Bruce Springsteen, Don Gibson m fl. Dessutom innehåller albumet två låtar skrivna av Cash själv varav låten "Like the 309" var den sista låt han skrev och spelade in. <br/><br/>"I think that 'American V' may be my favorite of all the albums in the American series. It's different from all the others, it has a much different character. I think that this is as strong an album as Johnny ever made. These songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music Johnny wanted us to hear". - Rick Rubin
