Henry Wagons & The Tennessee Studs

A tribute show by Henry Wagons and The Tennessee Studs, built around the American Recordings albums of Johnny Cash, staged at The Live Room@Caroline Social Club in Shipley.

Henry Wagons, an outlaw-country artist, appears with The Tennessee Studs in CASH: A Journey Through the American Recordings. This is a tribute to Johnny Cash, not a performance by Cash himself. The evening traces the stories behind the American Recordings albums, the late-career records Cash made with producer Rubin.

Wagons performs essential cuts from the series, including Solitary Man by Neil Diamond, I Hung My Head by Sting, The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave, Hurt by Nine Inch Nails and One by U2, alongside a couple of older Cash favourites. The Tennessee Studs recreate the sonic depth and restraint of the original recordings, while Wagons tells the stories behind the songs in between.

The Live Room@Caroline Social Club in Shipley hosts concerts and shows. The programme suits listeners who know Cash's late-career recordings or want to hear the background to them.
