5.0 out of 5 stars a really great country gospel album, August 21, 2005

By	Calvin Modling (green cove springs, fla. usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i have liked a few of johnny's songs over the years but have never really been a fan of his but this gospel album is one of the best i've ever heard---it makes you wonder about his up-bringing and how he was taught and the battles he went through with the things that persecuted him---the album is just to good to be by a man with no knowledge or belief in God---and i never knew that about johnny until i heard him sing this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding country gospel from a well-known ne'er-do-well, July 29, 2005

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Johnny Paycheck was well-known as a roughneck and a rowdy, but despite his reputation as a party animal, he sure sang some sweet gospel music. This generously programmed CD gathers together all of his religious recordings for the independent Little Darlin' label, including material from two albums, 1967's "Gospeltime In My Fashion" and a later set recorded in the late '70s, when Paycheck had made it into the bigtime, and was quickly watching his star fall out of the Nashville firmament. All of it is top-flight country gospel material, more heartfelt and sincere than many of his secular recordings... If you like either inspirational music or hard-country honkytonk, this disc is definitely worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Special Moment Of True Faith, April 29, 2005

By	R. White (Lancaster,NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These are very inspirational recordings by Johnny Paycheck.In his younger years of recording his voice was so strong an full of life.These gospel and religious songs are all good.But there is one that I favor the most "Almost Persuaded".As always a big Thanks goes to Aubrey Mayhew the producer.I recommend this CD to all Johnny Paycheck's fans and also the country fans and most of all the very faithful.
