John Carter Cash Tells The Tale Of ‘Pineapple John’ On New Album
John Carter Cash
John Carter Cash is set to release his full-length album, Pineapple John, on Sept. 12. Cash is giving fans a preview of the upcoming project with the new single, “Snow On the Sand,” which will be released on July 25.
Pineapple John is a cinematic journey that follows the life of the life-worn singer-songwriter Pineapple John. Produced by John Carter and Trey Call, the album explores themes of love, loss, redemption and self-discovery. From the opening prelude “Nekid Man (Pineapple John Prelude)” to the closing track “The Island Fair/ Captain Jim’s Drunken Dream/ Carry On,” the album immerses listeners in a world that is thought-provoking and emotionally-filled.
The first single, “Snow On the Sand,” serves as a pivotal moment in the album’s storyline. The track captures the emotional contrasts of the album, combining poignant lyrics with a stirring soundscape that reflects the warmth of the beach juxtaposed against the cold remnants of a past long left behind.
“I’m incredibly excited to share ‘Snow On The Sand,’” says John Carter Cash. “It’s the first glimpse into Pineapple John and the beginning of what I hope will be a deeply personal journey for my listeners. The full album is a reflection of life’s struggles and triumphs, and I can’t wait to share it with the world.”
The album also features some special guests including Marty Stuart playing electric guitar on “The Island Fair,” Clare Bowen lending backing vocals on both “The Hole In The Bottom of the Sea” and “The Island Fair,” and Brandon Young, (co-writer on “The Ocean Calling”) contributing backing vocals on “Pineapple John,” among other songs. John Carter’s daughter A.B. Cash also joins her father on “Beckoning Melody” and “The Hole in the Bottom of the Sea” features vocals by John’s nephew Thomas Gabriel.
