5.0 out of 5 stars My first Johnny Cash CD, March 31, 2005

This is the first Johnny Cash CD I've owned, and I'm sure I could have done a lot worse. I love his singing style on these wonderful songs. Obviously, he doesn't have the voice of a Charlotte Church or Mahalia Jackson. What he does have is the voice of the common man, and that is highly appropriate since the messages in these songs were written for the common man. He sings these songs, not as someone putting on a show or trying to make a buck, but as a man just simply trying to glorify Jesus Christ. I think that alone makes this CD much better than almost any of the so-called contemporary Christian music being put out today. I'm so glad I bought this.

GOSPEL GLORY by Johnny Cash is a GREAT Gospel CD, despite its lack of modern remastering. 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. Just as I Am

Although, "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. God

MY 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. 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! It has a good CD booklet with Johnny talking about each song, too. My Mother's Hymn Book

And 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! Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament: Collector's Edition

Since I like gospel music, this is one of the better ones of all the classics that never go out of style.
