Train of Love: The Tribute to Johnny Cash delves into the legacy with performances by some of today’s hottest rockabilly, country and bluegrass acts. Hang on for a no-holds-barred, wildly entertaining ride.

The album, embraced by the House of Cash and CMH Records and generously supported by the performing artists, originated with the idea of contributing to research for Shy-Drager Syndrome, the disease affecting Johnny Cash for the past few years. A portion of the money generated from the sale of each CD will be donated to Vanderbilt University Medical Research Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
