The new songs - A hypothesis

[Rail King]

I'd love to see Daniel Lanois or Rick Rubin produce Mark Knopfler. Or Blake Mills. Mark's songs are intriguing in themselves, but any of these three guys could make them more intriguing, still.

Rick Rubin. Certainly, Johnny Cash's recent albums have gained new value.

I think we fans deserve a double album after this long time of patiently waiting. I guess he must have written a lot of songs. All of his albums are different, but imho he has never done a bad one. I can't wait to hear his new songs!

Oh yes definitely! I like this thought very much:)

plus a bonus cd taken from a studio live session

He must have more than enough songs for a double album, just think how many he must have written during lockdown?

He must have unused songs from previous records to fill a double cd for sure, songs that are good enough but that they didn't fit with the rest of songs at the time (like Pyroman, Bonafide or Bonfire night) and don't fit with the music he does nowadays either, but would be good enough to be released.

It is a pity that songs that are good are left out just because they don't fit the rest and left behind forever.

I'm sure he recorded enough material for a couple of double albums in these last sessions and hopefully we would have the chance to listen maybe a 1/4 part of them between what it's in the record and the bonus tracks, and most of the rest would remain hidden just because they didn't fit.
