Since 2005’s Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line was released, followed by last year’s parody, Walk Hard, the Johnny Cash homage overload has pretty much died down. However, praise of the late legend will resume with the Anchorless Records release of All Aboard: A Tribute To Johnny Cash on October 21st. Taglined by the label as “Punk/Indie Greats Honor The Man In Black,” the album will offer renditions from the likes of The Bouncing Souls, The Dresden Dolls (Feat. Franz Nicolay Of The Hold Steady), The Gaslight Anthem, The Sainte Catherines, Ben Nichols Of Lucero, Chuck Ragan, and more.  As far as the album’s song selection goes, the label had this to say about it.

The range of songs chosen include Johnny Cash’s first single (The Flatliner’s covering “Cry, Cry, Cry”) and travels through a long and unparalleled career to the last single released by the Man in Black, “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” performed by The Gaslight Anthem. It is our hope that through this record we are able to introduce a new generation of music fans to the songs and importance of Johnny Cash via their favorite artists.

Anchorless Records will donate all the profits from the album sales to the Syrentha Savio Endowment (SSE), “a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to underprivileged women who cannot afford the expense of fighting breast cancer.”

Let’s hope they do the man in black some justice.
