Hello fellow fans,

I'm new to these boards, and I was looking around to see if anyone was discussing the new Cash set - Johnny Cash: Chapter & Verse. I'm a big fan of his Gospel music, and this new set really caught my eye. Since no one is discussing it, maybe you guys haven’t heard. I'll tell you what I've come across on it.

First of all, I had no idea that Johnny recorded the New Testament of the Holy Bible. I'm pretty sure this set is the New King James Version.

Its a 2 disc set - (1) DVD and (1) Audio CD. from a company called Bibles On DVD. I went to their site www.biblesondvd.com and it looks like they put the audio narration of the bible with text on screen that is synchronized. So basically you watch the DVD and what you see on screen is an open book with the scripture that is synchronized to the audio narration. When he gets to the end of the page, it turns automatically. I think this concept is pretty neat. Its a cool new way to read the bible - and for those of us whose vision isn’t so great - the text is as large as your TV screen is. I never thought Johnny Cash would read the Bible to me... his voice is just so perfect for this application. Oh yea, and there is a Holy Land Photo Tour – which they are calling “Walking the Bible” (cute).

Anyway, the set also comes with a CD of 14 Gospel Songs. I'm a collector and I’m excited to get another CD to add to my collections. I'm pretty sure these songs never appeared on a CD all together before. Here is the track list...

1. The Miracle Man
2. Precious Memories
3. The Old Rugged Cross
4. At The Cross
5. Wings In The Morning
6. The Greatest Cowboy Of Them All
7. When He Comes
8. Children Go Where I Send Thee
9. Gospel Boogie (A Wonderful Time Up There)
10. I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal
11. He’s Alive
12. Over The Next Hill
13. What On Earth (Will You Do For Heaven’s Sake)
14. Oh Come, Angel Band

I haven’t seen it in stores yet, just caught a commercial on TV. On Amazon the street date is listed as Oct 28th. I'm looking forward to it. The commercial was for $29.95 for the set, I’d assume in stores it would be similar.
