Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter, actor, musician and author. He was born on February 26, 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas, USA as J.R. Cash and passed away on September 12, 2003 in Baptist Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Known for his influential contributions to country music, Cash earned the nickname "The Man in Black" due to his all-black stage wardrobe.Cash was married to country singer June Carter and had a younger brother named Tommy Cash. His younger sister is Joanne Cash and he also had an older brother named Roy Cash Sr. Additionally, his nephew is Roy Cash Jr. From his first marriage with Vivian Liberto, Johnny Cash had a daughter named Rosanne Cash who became a successful singer-songwriter. He was also the stepfather of Carlene Carter who is the daughter of June Carter and her first husband Carl Smith.In recognition of his immense talent and impact on music history, Johnny Cash was honoured with inductions into several prestigious halls of fame including the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1977, the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980, the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 (as a performer), and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2010.

Released in March 1991, The Mystery of Life was Johnny Cash’s sixth and final album on Mercury Records, and features songs from contemporary album sessions as well as Cash’s first Mercury session in 1986 for the album Johnny Cash is Coming to Town. The record includes recordings of two songs already associated with him from his Sun and Columbia days, Hey Porter and Wanted Man. I’ll Go Somewhere and Sing My Songs Again finds Cash duetting with long-time collaborator Tom T. Hall. Unfortunately the album performed poorly on the Billboard country charts (it peaked at #70), as did the single Goin’ By The Book (#69). Coupled with an unsteady relationship with Mercury at the time, Cash’s departure from the label followed the album’s release. Featuring remastered audio for the very first time, using the original Mercury master tapes, the LP reissue is pressed on 180 Gram vinyl for the highest quality audio fidelity and accompanied by a MP3 download voucher.
