"I Still Miss Someone" is a song co-written by Johnny Cash and his nephew Roy Cash, Jr. and originally recorded by American country music singer Johnny Cash. He first recorded it in 1958 as the B-side to "Don't Take Your Guns to Town".
History
Cash wrote "I Still Miss Someone" with his nephew, Roy Cash, Jr. He performed "I Still Miss Someone" during At Folsom Prison,[1] and most of Cash's live recordings after the 1960s also included this song. He also re-recorded it in the studio on several later occasions for Columbia and Mercury Records.
Cash appeared in Eat the Document, which documented Bob Dylan's 1966 world tour, performing "I Still Miss Someone" with Dylan backstage. Cash later recorded the song as a duet with Dylan during sessions for Dylan's album Nashville Skyline in 1969; this duet was officially released in 2019 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15: Travelin' Thru, 1967–1969.[2]
The Statler Brothers recorded the song on their 1966 Flowers on the Wall album.
Cash and Willie Nelson performed the song as a duet during concerts by The Highwaymen, their supergroup which also featured Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. A 1990 live Highwaymen version was released on the album “Live: American Outlaws” in 2016.

Jimmy Buffett performed the song as a dedication to Cash at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington, on September 16, 2003, four days after Cash's death. Before playing it, Buffett said it was his favorite Johnny Cash song.
