A long-lost live track of the hallowed singer-songwriter Johnny Cash covering another all-timer, Bob Dylan, has just resurfaced and fans can hear it now.

The song, a rendition of Dylan’s, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” will be part of new Cash live album, Bear’s Sonic Journals: Johnny Cash, At The Carousel Ballroom, April 24, 1968, which is set for release digitally on October 29 and on vinyl December 3, via The Owsley Stanley Foundation.
About a month ago, we reported on the new live album announcement, and the record’s first single, “The Ballad Of Ira Hayes,” here.
“On its surface, Johnny Cash’s visit to the heart of hippie San Francisco in April 1968 might have seemed unexpected, but with a rare performance of ‘The Ballad Of Ira Hayes’ the deep kinship between performer and audience that evening comes into full focus,” the statement read
Fans can pre-order the new live LP, which features several Dylan tracks and was recorded in 1968 in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood by Grateful Dead soundman, Owsley “Bear” Stanley, as Cash played to a crowd of about 700 people a few months before he released his historic album, At Folsom Prison, here.
