5 out of 5 stars Raw Soul.......2007-05-07

It doesn't get much better than Bill Withers when it comes to pure earthy soul. He keeps everything simple and to the point. His voice doesn't flow with perfect pitch and control, but lays it all out on the table with pure emotion much like Otis Redding. Everyone has heard his songs, but barely anyone knows his name. Get to know Bill Withers and you will be glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars So Many Here Can Be Labelled His Best.......2004-03-11

"i wasn't there when he hurt you,
so why should i have to pay?"

name your genre, if you choose. high quality blues funk folk r and b, sounds like a good name.

play Let Me In Your Life, if you dont already know what this is about. then, if you wanna rock, turn the volume up to 11 and play I Don't Want You On My Mind All the Time.

if you still dont get it, then its just been pearls before swine. move on, there's nothing for you here.

5 out of 5 stars 2 Great Albums Now On CD.......2004-01-19

Although Legacy reissued 1972's Still Bill in 2003, they never got around to Withers first album from 1971. This Australian label does an excellent job of giving you 2 for the price of 1. The liner notes are excellent and the sound is top-notch. If you're new to Withers and want something other than his Best of's, then this is the next best thing. Also, try Live at Carnegie Hall which is also an essential addition.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent re-release.......2003-11-21

*About the music*
These are two classic 1971 and 1972 albums by one of the unsung heros. On "Just As I Am" Bill backed by one of the best bands of the day, the same folks who laid down the sound for Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, et. al. While some folks choose "Best Of's" to get all the hits, I personally love getting the original albums and all those diamonds in the rough that don't make the 'Best Of' cut. It gives me a good sense of what the artist was putting forth at that time. If you enjoy 1970's soul and r&b, do yourself a favor, add this one to your collection. These two albums have stood the test of time and I feel will continue to endure.

*About the sound*
I was a bit skeptical at first not being familiar w/ the Australian "Raven" label, but no more. This is a top-notch re-release in terms of its digitaly remastered sonic quality. Nice job.

Amazon.com

Johnny Cash's gospel bent has long held him in sway to the road of his Lord, even through the oft-followed temptations of a base corporeal world. Having left legendary Sun Records early in his career to make room for Jesus in his inn, the Man in Black is self-described as "somewhere between an A and D Christian." That very dichotomy is borne out in Just as I Am, a 20-song collection culled from Cash's immense body of work inspired by his Southern Christian heritage and deep devotion to God. All previously recorded during some of his most prolific and inspired years (1959-74), the selections here range from sparkling gems of faith to pale, phoned-in shadows lacking the brilliance of both Cash and Christ. --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars The Single Best CD Gospel Collection from Johnny Cash! .......2007-05-18

I used to think that GOSPEL GLORY was my favorite Johnny Cash Gospel CD, but this CD collection, JUST AS I AM, includes 9 out of the 10 songs on GOSPEL GLORY, and then adds 11 more Gospel songs from Johnny's career, so JUST AS I AM is my new favorite Johnny Cash Gospel CD! Gospel Glory

The songs span most of his career, up to 1999 when this CD came out. It starts out a bit old fashioned, with Johnny's older Gospel style of the 1950s and 60s, but by the middle of this CD, it gets around to his 1970s style, which is my favorite era for Johnny Cash Gospel songs.

There are many classic Christian songs that are great to hear Johnny's rendition of; "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "The Great Speckled Bird," "Peace in the Valley," "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder," "Amazing Grace," "In the Sweet By and By," "The Old Rugged Cross," "Rock of Ages," "Softly and Tenderly," wow!

"Daddy Sang Bass" is the only bona fide Johnny Cash hit song on the CD, about singing Gospel songs with your family.

"The Ten Commandments" is a great song about Moses and the 10 Commandments. It is a great tune that makes it easier to remember all 10 Commandments, once you memorize the words to this song, if you are so inclined.

This CD is 55 minutes long. There are other Johnny Cash Gospel compilation CDs and other studio albums on CD, but overall, I think this is the single best CD to buy if you are looking for Johnny Cash singing Gospel, and this CD is my most heartily recommended Johnny Cash Gospel CD, this should be your first stop.

After you get this CD, I would then recommend the Johnny Cash Gospel CD compilation named GOD, which is just as entertaining, but not as heavily packed with so many Christian traditional, standard tunes as JUST AS I AM. GOD is available as a single CD, or as part of a "budget" priced, 3-CD box set, LOVE, GOD, MURDER, which you should consider if you like Johnny Cash beyond his Gospel songs.God Johnny Cash - Love, God, Murder

MY MOTHER'S HYMN BOOK is a good studio album of songs recorded specifically for one CD release, not a career compilation. MY MOTHER'S HYMN BOOK has great CD booklet liner notes about each song, which are recorded with just Johnny strumming his guitar, very simply and very nicely done, in his elder years. PERSONAL FILE is a similar sounding 2 CD set, with just Johnny and his single guitar, with the second disk being entirely Gospel tunes, collected from his private recordings circa the 1970s, and has better singing and playing, but less focus and intensity than MY MOTHER'S HYMN BOOK. My Mother's Hymn Book Personal File

Oh, and make sure you have the Johnny Cash Reads the Complete New Testament: Collector's Edition 16 CD set of Johnny Cash reading the entire NEW TESTAMENT! That is incredibly cool! There's no music, just Johnny reading the Bible aloud. The Book of Revelation fits nicely on its own CD in the set. Sweet!

5 out of 5 stars Love Johnny's Gospel.......2006-07-13

Johnny Cash is one of my favorite entertainers. The movie Walk the Line really rekindled my interest in Johnny Cash. I also truly enjoy my faith and the story of Johnny Cash's faith. In my opinion, Johnny's songs of faith are better than his standard hits. He really sings them with a deep love for the Lord in his voice. This album is a great example of Johnny singing to the Lord. Each song is very good. I have many favorites on this album.

5 out of 5 stars The difinitive Johnny Cash Christian compilation..........2004-12-25

Although the other worthy compilations are "God", and "The Gospel Collection." This cd finds Cash in fine form throughout, singing such slassics as Rock of Ages, Amazing Grace, Swing Low..., and In The Sweet By & By, with conviction and feeling. This cd is both uplifting and powerfull, artisticly speaking. Beautiful...

5 out of 5 stars Hour of Memories.......2001-06-13

"Just As I Am" by Johnny Cash is a very full cassette filled with the most masculine voice of today singing hymns that usher beautiful memories into my mind, relaxing me and lifting my spirit with joy. This cassette is one of my most treasured ones.

5 out of 5 stars excellent gospel collection covering Cash's CBS years........1999-02-14

The release contains 20 gospel selections covering Cash's CBS recording career from 1958 to 1986. One of the reasons Cash made the switch from Sun Records to Columbia Records in 1958 was the promise by producers Don Law and Frank Jones of more musical freedom in doing concept projects as well as devoting more time to the gospel aspect of his career. A good collection and overview of the Cash gospel material and an excellent addition to any Cash fan's record library. But then I'm a little prejudice...I WROTE THE LINER NOTES!!!!

I purchased this for my mother who is a fan of old time Country Gospel. We enjoy Andy Griffith and would recommend any of his works.

4 out of 5 stars A great CD from a great actor and singer!.......2001-04-22

I recieved this cd for a Christmas gift and love it! Mr. Griffith has a wonderful voice and gives you a feeling that your in an old Southern church. I love the way he sings these old gospel songs and the way he puts his heart and soul into each song he sings. I'm 23 and appreciate this type of music. If your a gospel fan and a Christian like I am that loves to hear good southern hymns then I recommend this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Long Overdue.......2001-01-08

This is probably the best and most inspiring CD I have ever purchased! A CD of this caliber is long past due. I have always loved country gospel hymns, having grown up both Pentecostal and Baptist. I listen to this CD almost everyday, I enjoy it so much. The talent that went into the arrangements and singing is amazing, especially track #5 "When I Can Read My Title Clear" which is impressive because of the use of Bagpipes...which is something gospel music has lacked up to this point and I hope there are more albums released with hymns played on Bagpipes.

5 out of 5 stars It's interesting to hear Ben Matlock sing........1999-07-30

I came to appreciate the talent of Andy Griffith through the show "Matlock," and I never realized that he sang hymns. Being a Christian, I enjoy a good hymn, so I think it goes without saying that I really like this CD. It really is very good.

5 out of 5 stars Travis.......1999-02-19

This c.d. is great. I like all of the songs especially I'll fly away. I recommend this c.d. to any one who loves old time gospel music, just like I do!!!

2 out of 5 stars Music from Humphrey Bogar Movies.......2007-06-27

I was disappointed. I thought I would be getting a CD of full length themes from his movies but the CD is exactly what it says. It is from the actual films, in sections and pieces. I can't say it was misrepresented so I guess I was at fault. But I am sorry I bought it.

5 out of 5 stars Simply the original.......2007-06-19

As the previous reviewer rightly pointed out, these are the original recordings from the era the films were made. And yes, the sound is completely different from what we are used to hear when we are turning the CD player on: it's mono, it's partially unsteady and some of the pieces suddenly fade. BUT, it's the REAL thing and it transports the charms and the charisma, inherent to the original ONLY.
Those who prefer the flawless technical perfection of a re-recording better should save their money. But for those who love the movies and their genuine sound, should be perfectly pleased with this release.

2 out of 5 stars not the stuff dreams are made of.......2007-01-03

most of the tracks on this cd are available elsewhere, but what prompts me to give this a low review is the quality of the recording. some of them sound like they were taped off of a tv set showing a warbly print. you can do better elsewhere.

2 out of 5 stars Yuck..........2007-06-01

I'm really disappointed in this recording. I thought I would enjoy contemporary artists singing hymns. I thought wrong. Here's what is on the CD: Contemporary artists singing hymns in such a stylized fashion that the tune becomes nearly unrecognizable OR contemporary artists singing hymns badly. Why does contemporary have to equal bad singing technique?

The only redeeming quality (and the reason it got 2 stars instead of 1 star) about this CD is the song, "O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely" sung by Rochelle Hickman, which is GORGEOUS. However, I already own that tune on a Maranatha CD. So there isn't a point to keeping the CD. I'm giving it away in the hope that someone else will enjoy it. I certainly didn't.

4 out of 5 stars Some of her early and IMO greatest work.......2006-09-03

This review is in reference to Yolanda Adams (Just as I am).

It is true - the recording quality is poor; however where else can you get access to these songs. I checked through all the Yolanda Adams albums I own and none contain these songs.

I once owned this on casette tape and the lyrics are far and away superior to a number of today's recordings. Restore Me, Wash Me, Signs of the Times, Just as I am and other songs are phenomenal, in-line with Scripture and contain RAW Yolanda Adams - her voice is not anywhere as near refined as in Day by Day or any recent re cordings but this adds to the aura and experience - you can feel her passion and commitment through her singing.

Here is a short portion of lyrics in one song:
People are looking for something to get into
Leaving without the Word they do not know what to do

(it is not too often to hear such truth in Gospel singing)

I strongly encourage this purchase for those looking to get a taste of early Yolanda Adams. I would only recommend purchasing via iTunes at 99 cents / song or the entire album for $9.99. My recommendation is because the quality is poor and if you are not interested in Wanda Butler then why pay $19.99 (current price).

2 out of 5 stars Here We Go Again.......2005-10-13

First things first: The tracklisting on the Amazon site lists 19 songs. There are only 14 songs.

That out of the way, here we have another release by the legendary gospel label SOUND OF GOSPEL (SOG). And that is all good that can be said: the cd was released. This writer doesn't know if the record company doesn't have it's OWN ARTIST's masters or what, but it appears that none of the releases thus far in this company's re-issue catalog have been from the master tapes. This particular cd was clearly mastered from vinyl lps - and not well either. Whoever decided to do the work forgot to edit out the clicks and pops in the music (or just didn't care). Additionally, the pitch control was set too high on Wanda Nero Butler's first six songs represented on this cd compilation. (one track from the original vinyl was omitted evidently due to time constraints, although there is NO MENTION of this anywhere on the cd packaging)

On the plus side, the sonic quality is pretty clear, however the original vinyl was as well, so there is nothing gained here. Unfortunately, Adam's music fares much worse. Listeners are forced to listen to crackle, screetchy and scratchy vocals & music evidently recorded from an inferior vinyl source.

Again, WHERE ARE THESE ARTIST'S MASTER TAPES?? If the original issuing record company doesn't own any of its OWN artists' masters, who does?? (the late) Thomas Whitfield, the Clark Sisters and now these two artists are ALL deserving of so much better.

SOG are you listening??

Great CD, but why does mine only have 11 songs when the track listing says is supposed to have 16?? Even the back of the case only lists 11. Otherwise, the music is excellent, some of the best Christian piano music I've ever heard.

4 out of 5 stars The most endearing compilation of Christian Music ever sold........1999-11-17

If you are looking for a compilation of Christian Music who've just found the best.

This is an inspirational CD, collecting some of Rev. Graham's sermons and heartwarming music from his many years of service to the Lord. Who can resist Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, The Lord's Prayer, Just As I Am, and others - they bring tears to the eyes and lump to the throat.

5 out of 5 stars a must have, ultimate collectable........2006-02-12

the first time i got into bill withers was in 1985, my first year away from home in school. my cousin told me to listen to something,and it was a bill withers alb (+justments) and i have been hooked since then. my cousin grew up in the 50s, 60s and 70s and he was hip to all of the (real) music.this dual disc is a treasure if you are a bill withers fan,the interview on the dvd deep and educational.the 5.1 surround is excellent considering it was first recorded in the mid 70s.if you love good music and lyrics that mean something,this is a treasure to own.
