Description
This extremely rare Johnny Cash album is a must for any serious fan being a special collectors' album-limited edition recorded in 1979
In 1979, Johnny Cash's son John Carter Cash was enrolled at Goodpasture Christian School in Nashville. Cash agreed to do a tribute record album as a fundraiser for the school. He rerecorded several of his older gospel tunes and then Goodpasture students went to the studio to provide backing instruments and vocals.
Track Listing:
Side One with the Goodpasture Concert Band and Stage Band
1, American Trilogy (A medley of "Dixie", "All My Trials" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The song was made most famous by Elvis.
2) Will The Circle Be Unbroken / Daddy Sang Bass (The first part is the famous Spiritual and the second might be cash's most famous gospel song, originally written by Carl Perkins. Student Alisa Jones sang the "Mama sang tenor" part.)
3) Everything is Beautiful (This is the famous Ray Stevens song. Goodpasture Elementary Students from grades 1-6 did the opening "Jesus Loves the Little Children" part.)
4) Gospel John / Country Road (The only song to not use Dr. Moore's arrangement. Student Marty Williams was a trumpet Soloist.
Side Two with the Goodpasture Chorus. All of these are well known church hymns
1) Amazing Grace
2) Sweet By and By
3) When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
4) Precious Memories
5) Old Rugged Cross
6) Rock of Ages
Today, this album is somewhat difficult to get a hold of, mostly because of the numerous Johnny Cash collectors who by up every copy once one comes for sale. At one time, someone somewhere released it as a bootleg CD (Splitting Will the Circle Be Unbroken and Daddy Sang Bass as separate tracks), but even the CD is rather rare to find.
This is an original album not bootleg and has been lovingly looked after, any potential buyer will be assured of secure packaging, from a trusted seller.
PLEASE NOTE: The 'signature' (S N Fox) which appears on the cover of this album is written on the protective cellophane and NOT the actual album cover. The album was originally imported from the USA and my name duly written across the cellophone...possibly at order/packing time?
