That's Enough!!!.......2002-08-08

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!!!

The Fabulous Soil.......2000-03-11

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

Excellent Songs.......1999-07-23

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.

Songs of our soil is one of the best.......2002-02-06

All I can say is that I totally agree with the other reviewer. Columbia Records is proving itself stupid not to release Songs of our soil - I have a tape of it from an LP that a friend loaned me years ago. It's a magnificent album - tunes like Clementine, Hank and Joe and me and the Jordanaires in the background - well, all I can say is it can't be beat. If you like the Gospel Collection, then this double CD is a must. Any Cash fan with good taste would love this collection.

Two Old Ones.......2000-06-20

Two of Johnny Cash's oldest albums of which only Fabulous Johnny Cash has been available on CD until now. These are also two of the very few Johnny Cash albums that Columbia has released on CD - it would be great if they stopped making all these Best Of and Greatest Hits albums and started re-releasing the actual albums or let Bear Family make some more of the wonderful Man in Black boxes. This album includes some of songs which are also found on these Greatest Hits etc. Songs like Don't Take Your Guns to Town and Five Feet High and Rising. But it also includes a lot of songs which have never been released on CD (save for the Man in Black boxes). With this CD you get two old albums and the original liners notes. And if you haven't got them on LP already you will hear a lot of new songs.
