Johnny 99 is an album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1983 (see 1983 in music). It is notable for including two covers of Bruce Springsteen songs, "Highway Patrolman" and "Johnny 99." "I'm Ragged But I'm Right," a George Jones song, was a minor hit, reaching No. 75. It is generally regarded as a strong release at a point in Cash's career which is considered to be the least successful; it was also the second-to-last solo album released by Cash on Columbia, prior to his move to Mercury Records. Hoyt Axton sings background on "Highway Patrolman" and "Joshua Gone Barbados."
