Swing low sweet chariot (Hymns by Johnny Cash)Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1959 on the Red & Silver Coronet label. Cat: KLP786. This album is in MONO. Released with a different title in Australia.
These records are part of radio station 2UW's original record library. They have been in storage for the last 22 years and are finally seeing the light of day again. The LP's EP's & 45's discovered are all original 50's pressing. They were all stored in extra outer stiff cardboard covers which has helped preserve the picture sleeve covers and records which now date well over 50 years old!!! Mostly pre-rock N roll they include, Jazz, Country, Folk & 50's Pop and more.
Although Sam Phillips steered Cash away from gospel and sacred music in the mid-'50s at Sun Records, in fact much of what Cash recorded in his early career still had a devout tone, often with piety and imagery that wouldn't have sounded foreign in a gospel context. So although this 1959 album was entirely devoted to religious songs, it didn't really sound that different from his prior work, and remains accessible to Cash fans whether or not they're religious or have an interest in sacred song. The arrangements remain as sparse as most from his 1950s catalog, though stately backup vocals are often present. Too, these aren't strictly traditional numbers, as Cash writes or co-writes about half the tunes. Sure, "Are All the Children In" skirts bathos with its spoken sections, yet songs like "The Old Account" and "It Was Jesus" have the country-rockabilly bounce characteristic of much of his secular material.
Tracks: It was Jese/ I saw a man/ Are all the children in/ The old account/ Lead me gently home/ Swing low, sweet chariot/ Snow in his hair/ Lead me, father/ I call him/ These things shall pass/ He'll be a friend/ God will.
