Cash (Johnny) - Look Again To The Wind: Bitter Tears Revisited (2014)

Of all the dozens of albums released by Johnny Cash during his nearly half-century career, 1964s "Bitter Tears: Ballads Of The American Indian" was among the closest to the artists heart. A concept album focusing on the mistreatment and marginalization of the Native American people throughout the history of the USA, its eight songs spoke in frank and poetic language of the hardships and intolerance they endured. Now, 50 years after it was recorded, a collective of top Americana artists has come together to reimagine and update these songs that meant so much to Cash, who died in 2003. The album was produced by Joe Henry (Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville), and features American music giants Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Bill Miller, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and Norman and Nancy Blake, as well as up-and-comers the Milk Carton Kids and Rhiannon Giddens, interpreting the music of "Bitter Tears" for a new generation.
