Look Again To The Wind: Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears Revisited


In 1964, Johnny Cash released Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian, a concept album that served to draw attention to the plight of Native Americans. On August 19th, in celebration of the project's 50th anniversary, Sony Music Masterworks will issue Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited. The original disc's material has been reinterpreted for the new collection by Cash disciples Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle, among others, and was recorded in Los Angeles, Nashville and at the legendary Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

The 1964 release, which reached Number Two on the country chart, was among Cash's output that explored Americana, from railroad songs and cowboy tunes and other Western-themed material. It remains among one of the best-reviewed in his collection of socially aware material, mixing traditional folk ballads and new material throughout. Taken from the album, "The Ballad of Ira Hayes," penned by Peter LaFarge, reached Number Three for Cash on the country singles chart.
