Description
This well-chosen package delineates sacred music’s ongoing role in Cash’s career, beginning with two 1970 performances from his ABC variety show, one featuring longtime Cash friend Rev. Billy Graham.
The 1957 Sun tunes include the searing “I Was There When It Happened” and Cash’s original “Belshazzar.” “He Turned the Water into Wine,” “In the Sweet Bye and Bye,” “That’s Enough,” and his 1969 gospel hit “Daddy Sang Bass,” all from Columbia, are particularly passionate, as is “Far Side Banks of Jordan” (a duet with June Carter Cash) and three never-before-issued performances, 1974’s “My Ship Will Sail” and “How Great Thou Art and “It Is No Secret” from 1981. Given that one can’t truly understand Cash without knowing his gospel side, this is a fine introduction.
