Johnny Cash / Unearthed
Can't remember the last time a new-to-me album was affecting enough that I played it through three times in a row. Considering that there are five CDs in this set, that's a commitment! Easily my favorite is disc four, My Mother's Hymn Book. I grew up listening to and singing many of these hymns.
Great Photo Chicks! :thmbsp:
I too grew up listening to Johnny sing Hymns. Great stuff! :yes:

They have been on my "wishlist" for ages, but I haven't had a reason to pull the trigger..... until now. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll throw it in the cart the next time I'm placing an order! :thmbsp:

The Tide -- CD
Lucy Kaplansky
1994 Red House Records
After over a decade off and on, Lucy Kaplansky, one of the primary support singer and interpreters of New York's Greenwich Village scene, has released her debut album. It contains three of her own songs and other classics from contemporary songwriters. Highlights are Tom Russell/Greg Trooper's "The Heart," and Bill Morrissey's "Texas Blues," and Robin Batteau's "Guinevere." She also makes classics her own with Sting's "Secret Journey" and Richard Thompson's "When I Get to the Border." Produced by Shawn Colvin, this is a warm, relaxed-sounding set that allows Kaplansky's individual and great singing to cut through. Kaplansky is a terrific interpreter blessed with a great voice, unlike anyone else. ~ Richard Meyer

High, Low and In Between -- CD
Townes Van Zandt
1996 EMI Records
High, Low and in Between and The Late Great Townes Van Zandt, Townes Van Zandt's two classic records from 1972, were reissued on a single CD from Capitol in 1996. High, Low and in Between, Van Zandt's fifth album, was different from his first four starting with the first few notes. The leadoff track "Two Hands" was an up-tempo gospel number featuring piano and backup vocals. Van Zandt returned to religion in the country waltz "When He Offers His Hand," sang rock & roll with a harmony vocal on "Standin'," tried a martial beat worthy of Johnny Cash on the gambling story-song "Mr. Gold and Mr. Mudd," and even turned to comedy in "No Deal." The musical variety made High, Low and in Between a more interesting listen than Van Zandt's previous work, but what made it his best album since his debut was the quality of the songs, especially "You Are Not Needed Now" and "To Live Is to Fly." By The Late Great Townes Van Zandt, his sixth album in five years, Van Zandt seemed to be getting less prolific, but his songwriting craft only improved. Van Zandt re-recorded yet another track from his debut album, "Sad Cinderella," and did three cover tunes, including one by main influence Hank Williams. But among the remaining seven new originals were "Pancho and Lefty," a sly Western story-song about two outlaws, and "If I Needed You," among his most telling romantic statements. The two songs would become valuable copyrights for Van Zandt, and they made this oddly titled album one of his best -- which was good, since, as it happened, it would be his last release for five years. ~ William Ruhlmann

That's a good issue. Some of the single issue CDs of "Late Great" utilized some odd mixes (probably the same mixes used on the new TVZ release).
