Johnny Cash triple nomination

Johnny Cash has been nominated for three posthumous music awards in the Mojo Honours List.

Three years after his death, the country music legend is back in the limelight thanks to the success of Hollywood biopic Walk The Line.

Mojo magazine has nominated Cash for three prizes, including the Icon Award, for which he faces competition from David Bowie, Neil Young, Van Morrison and Scott Walker.

The Inspiration Award sees him compete with the Buzzcocks, Sparks, Paul Weller and The Fall.

And his five-CD collection, Johnny Cash - The Legend, has been nominated for Catalogue Release of the Year.

The awards ceremony takes place on June 5 at Shoreditch Town Hall in east London.

Singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae has been nominated for Best New Act alongside Guillemots and The Raconteurs.

Mojo editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said: "The Mojo Honours List is not about the biggest names or the hottest acts that will be forgotten within a year. It is about artists that have stayed or will stay the course.

"The event was created to recognise those artists that have enriched our rich musical culture and that's what it continues to do."document.write(unescape("
