Recordings by Johnny Cash
Album: Water From The Wells Of Home
Label: Polygram Records 834778
Year: 1988
Producer: Jack Clement
Comment:  This is a collection of duets done with Cash. There is some really great work on this album, though it never really soared with the radio stations. One particular song of note is the "Water From The Wells of Home", one of the first JRC and John Carter works recorded that they had co penned.
