Which 2010 posthumous American Recordings album by Cash is subtitled "Ain't No Grave"?

The story behind the answer

Which 2010 posthumous American Recordings album by Cash is subtitled "Ain't No Grave"? The answer is American VI.

American VI: Ain't No Grave is the sixth main installment in Johnny Cash's American Recordings series. American Recordings and Lost Highway Records released it on February 23, 2010, more than six years after Cash died in September 2003. Producer Rick Rubin assembled the album from recordings made during Cash's final American sessions.

The material was recorded in May–August 2003, during the same broad period as American V: A Hundred Highways. That earlier album appeared in 2006, so the two are often confused. American VI includes Cash's stark interpretation of the gospel song "Ain't No Grave," which gives the album its subtitle.

The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was Cash's third posthumous U.S. top-ten album. It is also notable for containing no re-recordings of songs Cash had previously released.
