Ben's Country Music Show Week of the 15th July 2024 - Johnny Cash's 'Songwriter'

This week’s programme centres on Johnny Cash’s posthumous album Songwriter, which takes the spotlight as Album of the Week. Ben explores its origins—early 1990s demos brought to life with new instrumentation and guided by John Carter Cash—highlighting tracks such as Have You Ever Been to Little Rock? and Arkansas Lovin’. The episode also introduces new music from Megan Moroney, previewing her album Am I Okay with Man in the Moon and Miss Universe, reflecting a mix of pop-punk and country influences. Keith Urban’s upcoming album High is featured, including new songs Wildside and Go Home With You, a collaboration with Lainey Wilson. “This Week in Country Music History” marks Gretchen Wilson’s platinum success and Luke Bryan’s early hits, including Someone Else Calling You Baby. The programme also includes classic country selections from Jim Reeves and Little Big Town.
