The new album, Johnny Cash and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is out now. Featuring reimagined iconic songs “I Walk The Line,” “Ring of Fire,” and “Man In Black.” | Johnny Cash

Johnny loved playing with the orchestra on the TV Show. It posed natural challenges as Tennessee Three bassist Marshall Grant has described. He says, “it was difficult because all of those people (in the orchestra) were reading music and none of us (The Tennessee Three) read music… but Bill Walker did a phenomenal job of bringing us & his orchestra together,” Johnny’s musical vision was never compromised. | Johnny Cash

"Ragged Old Flag" was written in 1974 while Cash was in Binghamton, New York and was inspired by the political turbulence resulting in Nixon’s impeachment and the Watergate Scandal. Although Cash had publicly supported Nixon's candidacy, he had started to question the wisdom of Nixon-era policies concerning the Vietnam War. He wrote Ragged Old Flag to "reaffirm faith in the country and the goodness of the American people." Listen: https://JohnnyCash.lnk.to/RaggedOldFlagAlbum | Johnny Cash
