(PR) The life of the late country music legend JUNE CARTER CASH will be celebrated this June 19 just a few days before the anniversary of her June 23 birthday - with the simultaneous release of an all-star tribute album as well as an intimate memoir/biography written by her son, John Carter Cash."Anchored In Love: A Tribute to June Carter Cash" (Dualtone Music Group) was conceived and produced by John Carter Cash, the only child of Johnny and June, and features songs written by or associated with the beloved singer, and performed by an eclectic collection of family and friends that range from Elvis Costello to Billy Bob Thornton, Sheryl Crow to Willie Nelson. John Carter recorded "Anchored In Love: A Tribute to June Carter Cash" throughout 2006, primarily at the fabled Cash Cabin Studio on the Cash property in Hendersonville, TN.
The release of the CD will coincide with the publication of Cash's book, "Anchored in Love: An Intimate Portrait of June Carter Cash" (Thomas Nelson). The only biography of June Carter Cash available, this touching book describes John Carter's vivid recollections of life with his mother as it chronicles her life from childhood in Appalachia, the early days touring with the Carter Family band, her marriages before Johnny Cash, her early fame, her romance with Johnny Cash, and her many ups and downs that followed. Throughout, the book paints a dramatic, never-before-told portrait of struggle and success, and how the power of true love eventually overcomes all obstacles.
Says John Carter Cash, "I hope through these pages people may come to know my mother in some of the ways I have known her, that though they may read of her pain, they will see her strength and beauty most of all."
