5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Songs, July 23, 1999

By A Customer

Songs of our Soul is one of the earliest Columbia albums that Johnny did after leaving Sun Records. I have it on vinyl, and there are some absolute though rarely heard classics such as Hank and Joe and me, Drink to me, Great Speckled Bird etc. If you like Johnny, and you like that old time country style with the Jordanires-type background singers, this one is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars That's Enough!!!, August 7, 2002

By	Steven Randall (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

My dad had this record while I was growing up. It was one of only two or three that I was allowed to put on the turntable myself. I listened to it all the the time. At about age 8 or 9 I started getting into Rock n Roll (the Beatles, Beach Boys, Who, etc.) and this record kinda just disappeared from the the stack of records we had. I hadn't heard this record for over 30 years. I recently found this compilation on Amazon and ordered it immediatley. I could'nt believe how much I've missed these tunes. 'Run Softly Blue River' sounds so beautiful still. That opening 'C' note on the electric guitar still makes me cringe. It was Johnny's guitar player ( I think it's Luther Perkins on this one) that turned me on to Rock players like George Harrison and Keith Richards. And Johnny's voice...........Oh my god, WHAT A VOICE!!! For me, this record is where it all started. My love for Rock n Roll music started here. Say what you may, but this is an early Rock n Roll record. I highly recommend this one.
From the song 'That's Enough': "(I've got) I've got Jesus(Johnny) and that's enough (that's enough) THAT'S ENOUGH!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fabulous Soil, March 11, 2000

By	Matej (Slovenia) - See all my reviews

I'm delighted that those two are finally on CD together. These are the first two albums JC released at Columbia in 1958/59 and still two greatest ones alongside BItter Tears and Unchained. Some Jimmie Rodgers and Tex Ritter spirits on it and this CD is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you wanna start your J. R. Cash collection
