As a solo artist, she became somewhat successful with upbeat country tunes of the 1950s, such as "Jukebox Blues" and the comedic hit "No Swallerin' Place" by Frank Loesser. Carter also recorded "The Heel" in the 1960s along with many other songs. In the early 1960s, Carter wrote the song "

composition, that was released as a single and on Cash's album '' Orange Blossom Special''. In 1967, the two found more substantial success with their recording of " Jackson", which was followed by a collaboration album, '' Carryin' On with Johnny Cash and June Carter''. All these releases predated her marriage to Cash, after which she changed her professional name to June Carter Cash. She continued to work with Cash on recordings and on stage for the rest of her life, recording a number of duets with Cash for his various albums and being a regular on '' The Johnny Cash Show'' from 1969 to 1971 and on Cash's annual Christmas specials. After ''Carryin' On'', Carter recorded one more direct collaboration album, '' Johnny Cash and His Woman'', released in 1973, and, along with her daughters, was a featured vocalist on Cash's 1974 album '' The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me''. She also shared sleeve credit with her husband on a 2000 small-label gospel release, '' Return to the Promised Land.'' Although she provided vocals on many recordings and shared the billing with Cash on several album releases, June Carter Cash only recorded three solo albums during her lifetime: the first, '' Appalachian Pride'', released in 1975, '' Press On'' (1999), and '' Wildwood Flower'', released posthumously in 2003 and produced by her son, John Carter Cash. ''Appalachian Pride'' is the only one of the three on which Johnny Cash does not perform, while ''Press On'' is notable for featuring Carter singing her original arrangement of "Ring of Fire". One of her final appearances was a non-speaking/non-singing appearance in the music video for her husband's 2003 single, " Hurt", filmed a few months before her death. One of her last known public appearances was on April 7, 2003, just over a month before her death, when she appeared on the CMT Flameworthy awards program to accept an achievement award on behalf of her husband, who was too ill to attend. She won a Grammy award in 1999 for, ''Press On''. Her last album, ''Wildwood Flower'', won two additional Grammys. It contains bonus video enhancements showing extracts from the film of the recording sessions, which took place at the Carter Family estate in Hiltons, Virginia, on September 18–20, 2002. The songs on the album include "Big Yellow Peaches", "Sinking in the Lonesome Sea", "Temptation", and the trademark staple " Wildwood Flower". Due to her involvement in providing backing vocals on many of her husband's recordings, a further posthumous release occurred in 2014, when '' Out Among the Stars'' was released under Johnny Cash's name. The album consists of previously unreleased recordings from the early 1980s, including two on which June Carter Cash provides duet vocals. Her autobiography was published in 1979, and she wrote a memoir, ''From the Heart'', almost 10 years later.
