Recording information: House Of Cash Recording Studios (07/24/1958-06/18/1974). Arrangers: Jesse Randall Baxter ; Cindy Williams; Bill Walker . One of the reasons Johnny Cash left Sun Records for Columbia in 1958 was to pursue his strong interest in gospel music, as borne out by his second Columbia release, HYMNS. Whether Cash is engaging in celebratory call-and-response on "It Was Jesus" or delivering a Luke the Drifter-like monologue on "Are All the Children In," he rarely sounded more committed than he does here. It's probably the best of Cash's spiritual albums, its place in his chronology placing it the closest to his early, raw sound, with the famed boom-chicka-boom of Cash and his Tennessee Two still at its core. In its spare simplicity, HYMNS' sound stands in complete contrast to the lush orchestral and church choir accompaniment of SINGS PRECIOUS MEMORIES, a program of mostly traditional gospel music recorded 16 years later, which has more of the feel of a full-scale homecoming.
