Making their CD debut are ten tracks recorded in 1983, but not issued until 1986 as Believe in Him. “That Rugged Cross” is an effective duet with Jessi Colter. A couple of these tracks have a light rockabilly feel to them, setting them apart from the rather staid sound that dominates. These include “One of These Days I’m Gonna Sit Down and Talk to Paul” and “Belshazzar.” The four tracks that conclude disc two are outtakes from those 1983 sessions. The piano-driven take on the traditional “Never Grow Old” is a fine way to finish the set. Bootleg Vol. IV: The Soul of Truth is recommended for Cash collectors.

If anyone can bring people to God it's Johnny Cash. Hasn't worked for me but his voice - a gift. That this has unreleased tracks 30 years on -- amazing.
