Free Music Notes for Cash: Ultimate Gospel
Free Music Review: Stirring devotional music
Hit: 5 Stars
It's almost unbelievable that these tracks were recorded over a timespan of 34 years, from 1957 to 1981, since the music forms such a cohesive, seamless whole. The songs include traditionals, his own compositions and the work of others like Carl Perkins. The album opens with Here Was A Man, a spoken introduction about the life and influence of Messiah Yeshua.
The next, The Preacher Said, is a type of duet with statements by evangelist Billy Graham. The following seven songs all date from the late 1950s, and my personal favorites include Belshazzar (1957), It Was Jesus with its unidentified black gospel backing vocals, Swing Low Sweet Chariot (1959) and The Great Speckle Bird from the same year.
Two of the previously unreleased tracks, How Great Thou Art and It Is No Secret from 1981, are amongst the highlights. The legendary Carter Family provide backing vocals on amongst others: Peace In The Valley (1963), Angel Band (1979) and on Children Go Where I Send Thee (1979) together with the 21st Century Singers, whilst Far Side Banks Of Jordan is a duet with June Carter.
Other great hymns worthy of special mention are In The Sweet By And By and Amazing Grace (both 1974) and Were You There (1962) with Maybelle Carter on autoharp and the family on backing vocals. The full spectrum of the spiritual experience is covered by these beautiful, timeless songs: sombre reflection, joy, melancholy, awe, comfort, devotion and gripping story-telling.
This is my first album of the music of Johnny Cash and I'm hooked! His beautiful baritone is impressive on its own, but even more amazing when framed by the devotional backing vocals. The CD booklet contains one sepia and four black and white pics, information like recording dates and musicians for every song, plus a short bio written by Sylvie Simmons.
Free Music Review: The Johnny Cash Gospel
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection of songs is exceptional, especially the unreleased tracks. The sound quality is outstanding, and the album starts off with a Johnny Cash sermon which he tells the story of Jesus. Then the familiar and unfamiliar gospel hymns come after with great effect. June Carter/The Carter Family are on alot of songs as back-up. The artwork inside the CD case is beautiful with Johnny kneeling before the painting of the last supper. So, buy this...if you are a casual Johnny Cash fan or anyone who appreciates great, soul soothing music this is a must buy. Lastly, if you buy this at Wal-Mart you get a bonus track on the album called "Sanctified" (2:23) which is a another unreleased song. Its a fun song and yet serious. Thats the only outlet I believe that has the bonus track on the album.
To sum this up this is not five star Johnny, this is ten stars plus a eternity of rememberance of Johnny Cash and his will of faith.
Free Music Review: HERE WAS A MAN: THE ULTIMATE GOSPEL COLLECTION
Hit: 5 Stars
HAVING BEEN A BIG FAN OF CASH EVERY SINCE I WAS YOUNG, I WATCHED HIM GROW AND MATURE OVER THE YEARS. AFTER HE MET AND MARRIED JUNE CARTER, HE RETURNED TO HIS SPIRITUAL ROOTS. THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION OF SONGS FOR THOSE OF US WHO ENJOY AN EXPOSURE TO CASH'S SPIRITUAL LIFE AND HERITAGE. THERE WAS A LOT MORE TO JOHNNY CASH THAN MOST PEOPLE REALIZE BECAUSE JOHNNY WAS A TRUE BELIEVER AND HE ESPOUSED VALUES LATER IN LIFE THAT MADE HIM ONE OF US, A FELLOW CHRISTIAN AND A SPOKESMAN FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. i RECOMMEND THIS COLLECTION AND ANY OTHER RECORDINGS THAT REFLECT CASH'S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE.Free Music Review: Ultimate Cash
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a C.D. that moved my soul, beyond the capacity, that any CD I had ever listened to, was able to do before. Johnny's voice and his guitar playing are definitely gifts that few musicians are so blessed to receive. And when he combines his voice with the vocals of his wife, it leaves you with the glow of knowing, beyond all certainty, that they, indeed, were soul mates. I highly recommend this CD. If you want to treat yourself, and definitely, you should, ~The Ultimate Gospel is the ultimate way to go!Free Music Review: This CD puts "contemporary" Christian music to shame...
Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent CD. The old traditional hymns really hit home. Definitely worth listening to such inspiring music. It is unfortunate that the old time hymns have been forgotten, and so this recording by Johnny Cash reminds one that there was once good Christian oriented music. By contrast, the new contemporary Christian music panders to modern "pop culture" and sounds is if it was sung by some washed up Vegas lounge lizard.
