In a fittingly patriotic move, a new Johnny Cash album will be released on July 4. “American V: A Hundred Highways” is the last official installment in Cash’s acclaimed “American Recordings” series.

The album features twelve tracks from the influential country artist’s final recording sessions in 2003. As with prior releases in the “American” series, the record is produced by Rick Rubin.

“These songs are Johnny’s final statement,” said Rubin in a previous statement from Lost Highway Records. “They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear.”

The album will include “Like the 309,” the final original song recorded by Cash.

Here’s the record’s full track-listing, according to the Lost Highway website:

1. Help Me
2. God’s Gonna Cut You Down
