Unearthed – The Homecoming of Johnny Cash

Dean is included in the latest Unearthed podcast (hosted by The Big Light) – Episode 17: The Homecoming of Johnny Cash (with series host, Ryan Latto)

Click here to link through to the page and the podcast.

It’s Christmas 1981, and the people of Falkland are flocking to the street. A man has come to town, a man dressed in black baring a wide smile. This man in Johnny Cash and he has come home. Johnny Cash, the globally recognised country folk singer traced his roots to Fife, a stones throw away from where I was raised. So, how much can we own him? Well…rather than speculate, why not just ask the family? In this episode I interview Johnny Cash’s daughter, Rosanne, about her and her fathers Scottish roots and why we should be singing it from the rooftops!

Interviews with:

  • Rosanne Cash, award winning country singer and daughter of Johnny Cash
  • Dean Owens, Scottish singer-songwriter from Leith and founder of the Cash Back Festival
  • Bobby Beveridge, retired police detective and owner of the Violin Shop in Falkland
  • David Latto, my brother, and professional singer-songwriter from Fife.

Dean is guest on BBC Radio Scotland’s Off The Ball

Sat 29 Feb – Dean was delighted to be invited back on BBC Radio Scotland’s Off the Ball (“the most petty and ill informed show on radio”!) to trade banter with “Scotland’s odd couple” Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan, with subjects including football, Cash Back in Fife, being a Hearts fan in Leith, Dean’s new album, hospitality disasters (including a memorable story about a private gig with The Felsons!) and lots of football related nonsense.

Listen again on BBC’s iPlayer (till 30 Mar); guests arrive from approx 38 mins in. (Note: may be subject to geographical limitations)
