Johnny Cash is practically a legend in American music. Throughout his career, which began in the 1950s, he has recorded songs about all aspects of the human experience. Under the guidance of Cash himself, Sony Legacy assembled three collections with distinct themes: GOD, LOVE, and MURDER.

GOD is about the joys and trials of faith in the divine and about the drama of Good vs. Evil. The selections range from the reverently humorous "Greatest Cowboy of Them All" and the traditional gospel standard "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," to the chilling and bleak acoustic solo "Redemption." Throughout, Cash's somber, earthy baritone conveys devotion in the face of doubt, and hope against despair, never sounding judgmental or overly pious.
