Published Wednesday, May 24 2006, 13:59 BST | By Matthew Houghton
Country music legend Johnny Cash has been short-listed posthumously for three Mojo awards.
Two years after his death, the 'Ring of Fire' singer has been nominated for both the icon and inspiration awards and a box-set of his recordings is up for best catalogue release.
For the magazine's top honour, the Icon Award, Cash will be up against stiff competition with Neil Young, Van Morrison, Scott Walker and David Bowie all nominated.
The Mojo Honours List aims to reward artists for continued excellence, rather than focusing wholly on current favourites.
