'Songwriter' is the seventy-second studio album (and fifth posthumously released studio album) by Johnny Cash. The album was recorded as a series of songwriting demos in early 1993, a time when Cash wasn't signed to a label and shortly before he met producer Rick Rubin. The songs were written over several decades. The tapes were shelved when Cash instead made the American Recordings album with Rubin, although he used re-recordings of the songs "Drive On" and "Like A Soldier" for that album. After rediscovering the demos, John Carter Cash and David "Fergie" Ferguson stripped them back to just Cash's vocals and guitar before overdubbing newly recorded parts by a new band, including several musicians who had worked with Cash such as Marty Stuart and David Roe. The recordings also retain original backing vocals recorded by Waylon Jennings, who died in 2002.
John Cash (February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003) was an American country singer-songwriter. Most of Cash's music contains themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially songs from the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname 'The Man In Black'. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His genre-spanning music embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel sounds. This crossover appeal earned him the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.

'Les Chants de L'Aurore' (The Songs of Dawn) is the seventh studio album by Alcest.
Alcest is a French post-black metal band from Bagnols-sur-Ceze. It began in 2000 as a black metal solo project by Neige, then became a trio, but members Aegnor and Argoth left the band following the 2001 release of their first demo, leaving Neige as the sole member. Neige began incorporating elements of shoegaze and post-metal into the project's sound from 2005 onwards and is largely credited with pioneering the fusion genre known as blackgaze. In 2009, drummer Winterhalter from Les Discrets joined Alcest, after eight years with Neige as its sole full-time member.

The album was recorded as a series of songwriting demos in early 1993, a time when Cash wasn't signed to a label and shortly before he met producer Rick Rubin. The songs were written over several decades. The tapes were shelved when Cash instead made the American Recordings album with Rubin, although he used re-recordings of the songs "Drive On" and "Like A Soldier" for that album. After rediscovering the demos, John Carter Cash and David "Fergie" Ferguson stripped them back to just Cash's vocals and guitar before overdubbing newly recorded parts by a new band, including several musicians who had worked with Cash such as Marty Stuart and David Roe. The recordings also retain original backing vocals recorded by Waylon Jennings, who died in 2002.

'Agents Of Fortune' is the fourth studio album by Blue Oyster Cult. The Platinum-selling album peaked at No. 29 on the U.S. Billboard chart. The band became a bigger concert attraction after the release of the album, in part due to extensive airplay of '(Don't Fear) The Reaper', to this day a staple of rock-station playlists. This is the only album in the group's discography to have at least one lead vocal performance by each original band member.
