The Mystery of Life

The Mystery of Life is the 77th album by country singer Johnny Cash, released in 1991, and his last for Mercury Records.

According to Cash's 1997 biography, Mercury only pressed 500 copies of the album, biographer Robert Hilburn in Johnny Cash: The Life (2013) dismisses this as an exaggeration on Cash's part.
