When this arrived it propmtly got on our Sunday playlist, and stayed there form many months.If "Were You There When They Crucified my Lord" doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, you may be dead.
Since I like gospel music, this is one of the better ones of all the classics that never go out of style.
BUYER BEWARE--Based on the sound of the recording, the 1990 issue date, and the total lack of any mention of remastering on the packaging, it's clear that this is NOT a remastered recording. Still, the music is great (it gets 5 stars) and at $7 the price is right even for a old CD with primitive mastering. But I am pretty annoyed at Amazon for the false advertising, hence the low rating for this product.
My Mother's Hymn BookAnd don't miss the incredibly cool spoken word project of Johnny Cash reading the entire NEW TESTAMENT of the Bible, over 16 CDs, very affordably priced. MY MOTHER'S HYMN BOOK is just Johnny strumming his acoustic guitar, while singing tunes he's sang since childhood when he learned them from his mom, singing them out of her Hymn book, just like the album title says.
This used to be my FAVORITE Johnny Cash Gospel CD until I got his JUST AS I AM (1999) album on CD, and I found out that 9 of the 10 songs on GOSPEL GLORY are on JUST AS I AM, plus 11 other Gospel tunes from Johnny. GOSPEL GLORY by Johnny Cash is a GREAT Gospel CD, despite its lack of modern remastering.
GodMY MOTHER'S HYMN BOOK is Johnny's best Gospel album that was recorded and intended to originally appear on a single CD, all at once. Just as I AmAlthough, "Daddy Sang Bass" is the only true Johnny Cash chart hit song on this CD, GOSPEL GLORY also has many all-time classic Christian songs, which are all great as Johnny Cash renditions, too.GOSPEL GLORY is a career compilation of Gospel tunes.
GOD is an equally good collection of Johnny Cash tunes, but it does not have has many classic, traditional Gospel songs as GOSPEL GLORY. It has a good CD booklet with Johnny talking about each song, too.

Though I knew this was a gospel CD, it was not up to his other recodings.
