The project was engineered and mixed by Chuck Turner at Cash Cabin Studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where John Carter worked with his parents Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash on much of their latter life recordings.
The title song, written by Bob McDill and Allen Reynolds, is the essential message of the album. John Carter commented about the track, saying, “I remember believing in MAGIC. I recall the wind in itself being alive and with a voice… It smelled awake, purposeful and spoke in a resounding tongue I perfectly understood. All was vast, open, dazzling and wondrous. I believe this to be the truth of the world……the MAGIC is inside us all. And though it may be forgotten, it can be remembered once again… It is only up to us to do one single thing, and do it purely…BELIEVE.”
The release of the digital and physical CD versions of his album marks the first of many significant dates scheduled for John Carter Cash in September. Cash is set to perform at the Americana Music Festival taking place in Nashville, TN September 11-16. Additionally, Cash will feature his new music during a showcase at City Winery in Nashville, TN on September 14. More details here.
