| | Johnny Cash Ultimate Gospel CD Johnny Cash Discography of CDs
With his craggy, flawed voice and songs of craggy, flawed devotion to the Lord, the late Johnny Cash's unique combination of charisma and humility endeared him to both devout and secular audiences. This 24-track compilation harvests the best (arguably) of Cash's country-gospel output, grazing mostly on his mid-career recordings. While he is suitably reverent and low-key on most of the tracks here, a shuffling rendition of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" finds Cash emoting with an uncharacteristically supple, jazzy looseness that reflects the joy of the song. It is infectious, and a consolation for his absence.Dirty Linen (p.76) - "Cash's vocals are strong throughout....For those who enjoy Cash's religious work, there is much to recommend on ULTIMATE GOSPEL."
No Depression (pp.88-89) - "Cash was equally at ease singing traditional hymns and more current material....Cash also showed his skills as a gospel songwriter with the Old Testament-based 'Belshazzar'..." Ultimate Gospel Review

Ultimate Gospel album
$22.05
Only a handful of Elvis Presley impressionists proved viable on the popularity charts: Terry Stafford, Ral Donner, and Orion (aka Jimmy Ellis), all of whom cultivated a sound-alike style that transcended mere influence and entered the realm of vocal impersonation. Sun Records' marketing of Orion took the schtick one step ...
| | Mickey Newbury Harlequin Melodies/Sings His Own CD (2003)
Ultimate Gospel CD music
$17.75 
It is ironic that the CD release of Mickey Newbury's debut album and initial RCA recordings are the very ones he despised and disowned, yet have better sound than those reissued on his own label. (The reason for this is that the master no longer existed for many of his later records and they were remastered from pristine LPs.) Nonetheless, despite Newbury's own discontent, this album holds up amazingly well. It is easy to hear how Felton Jarvis' production may not have exactly been to his liking in that it was not quite as subtle as his own, and these textures are a bit thinner and less impressionistic, but that can easily be forgiven -- especially considering what else was going on in Nashville in 1968 (there are no reverb or echo chamber effects on his vocals). The CD combines Harlequin Melodies from 1968 with Sings His Own from 1972. Here are several Newbury firsts, whose re-recorded and reinvented versions on later albums -- "Sunshine," "Sweet Memories," and "Good Morning Dear" from Heaven Help the Child -- became definitive takes. There is also the original version of his infamous "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Also included is a stripped-down, honky tonk version of "How I Love Them Old Songs" and the rocker "Dizzy Lizzy." Most significant is the first version of Newbury's signature medley, "An American Trilogy." There are two tracks here, "Mister Can't You See" and "Weeping Annaleah," co-written with a very young Townes Van Zandt. For a deeper analysis of the music and production techniques here, reference the review of the original LP by Eugene Chadbourne at the top the Newbury listing of recordings. For fans, this is a must-have; for those who have only heard the legend, you can shell out a mere 15 dollars to what it would sound like if a Bob Dylan-literate Nick Drake was from Texas and produced by Pet Sounds-era Brian Wilson. Newbury arrived in Nash Vegas in full possession of his nearly limitless power as both a singer and songwriter. This CD attests to that in spades. ~ Thom Jurek
To paraphrase Marc Antony, the listener may not be able to decide whether to praise Mickey Newbury or bury him. This record hits one with the full Newbury experience, because, debut album or not, he comes across as a fully developed ...

| | Selena Seballo CD (2006)
Ultimate Gospel album
$7.99
Victor Hugo once said that “music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” For singer/songwriter Selena Seballo, there is no parallel to the power of music. Her sound is fresh and rejuvenating. Sultry. Intoxicating. Most unique is the way in which her songs mirror her integrity as an artist and person.Born November 6, 1980, Selena Seballo was raised on the classical, jazz, country, and gospel music that was perpetually played in her parents’ Orlando, Florida home. In 4th grade she discovered R&B and hip hop and found herself hooked on Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. She also fell in love with Michael Jackson’s Thriller album and the music of Ella Fitzgerald.Quick to lead out in school and eager to be in the spotlight, Selena felt a pull even in grade school to express herself creatively. A professional actor, her father also played in a popular band called “The Exits” in the 1960s and 70s in Manchester, England. With both music and acting in her blood, Selena took to the stage early on, first with piano. “I had terrible stage fright playing the piano –to the point where I stopped playing all together.” Singing seemed less stressful, ...
