Henry Wagons & The Tennessee Studs: Cash, The American Recordings · Saltaire · May 28, 2027

 No country music icon possesses the depth, enigma, and songwriting gravity of Johnny Cash. And there is no artist better suited to honour and revitalise this legacy than global outlaw-country legend and enigmatic, stage-stomping entertainer Henry Wagons. The resulting combination creates a unique show that is a majestic, and often hilarious, twang-filled ride through some of the world’s greatest heavyweight songs. In CASH: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECORDINGS, Henry Wagons guides audiences through the heart-warming, fun, and at times heart-wrenching stories behind Cash’s late-career renaissance, the iconic American Recordings albums. Joined by his band The Tennessee Studs, Wagons performs essential cuts from across the series, including Solitary Man (Neil Diamond), I Hung My Head (Sting), The Mercy Seat (Nick Cave), Hurt (Nine Inch Nails), One (U2), and a couple of ol’ favourites from earlier in Cash’s career. Together, Wagons and The Tennessee Studs recreate the sonic depth, restraint, and emotional poise of the original recordings, so vividly you will feel as though you are sitting beside Cash and Rubin in the control room, a fine whiskey in hand, wearing a quiet, knowing smile. ‘Surely this is the coolest country music ever created!’ - NPR ‘.... that baritone! Wagons was born to bellow these tunes! ... and tell the world the wild stories behind these songs.’ - Free Press Australia
