''Silver'' is an album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1979 (see 1979 in music). It peaked at #28 on the albums chart. "(Ghost) Riders In The Sky" peaked at #2 on the singles chart; the two other singles, "Bull Rider" and "I'll Say It's True", reached #66 and #42, respectively. Other highlights include "The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore" and "I'm Gonna Sit on the Porch and Pick on My Guitar." Recordings of "Cocaine Blues" had previously appeared on ''At Folsom Prison'' and ''Now, There Was a Song!'', under the title "Transfusion Blues" on the latter. The album also featured production by Brian Ahern, who controversially introduced digital elements into the songs, to some disapproval of listeners. ''Silver'' was re-released in 2002 (see 2002 in music) through Legacy Recordings, with remakes of two early Cash songs, "I Still Miss Someone" and "I Got Stripes," as bonus tracks; both are duets with George Jones.
This is the last album that Marshall Grant, the original Tennessee Two bass player, played on. He departed from Cash's band the following year. - Wikipedia
