Johnny Cash’s gospel bent has long held him in sway to the road of his Lord, even through the oft-followed temptations of a base corporeal world. Having left legendary Sun Records early in his career to make room for Jesus in his inn, the Man in Black is self-described as “somewhere between an A and D Christian.” That very dichotomy is borne out in Just as I Am, a 20-song collection culled from Cash’s immense body of work inspired by his Southern Christian heritage and deep devotion to God. All previously recorded during some of his most prolific and inspired years (1959-74), the selections here range from sparkling gems of faith to pale, phoned-in shadows lacking the brilliance of both Cash and Christ. –Paige La Grone
