The title track for Johnny Cash's final record, American VI: Ain't No Grave, has been released on the Man in Black's official MySpace page (listen to it below).
The song is vintage new age Cash. His broken baritone ruggedly fits in with the sparse production helmed by Rick Rubin. "Ain't no grave can hold my body down" he sings on top of swamp stomp blues guitar and ominous piano.
The track is one of the last recorded by Cash before his death in 2003 at the age of 71. Ain't No Grave is in stores February 23.
All of the stuff he did on American gives me the chills.
