A Believer Sings The Truth
''A Believer Sings the Truth'' is a gospel music, gospel double album and 63rd overall album by American country music, country singer Johnny Cash. The tracks for the double-length album were all recorded in 1979. Cash was under contract to Columbia Records, but the label was doubtful that a double-album of gospel songs was commercially viable. With the label's blessing, Cash was allowed to release it on his own on the Cachet label and as a radio special with added narration. His efforts paid off, as the album made it into the Country Top 50, peaking at #43. In 1982, Columbia reissued the album itself, and in 1984 an edited-down version titled ''I Believe'' appeared on Arrival Records (see below). Prior to 2012 the only CD release of tracks from the album occurred with two tracks appearing in the ''God'' portion of the 2004 box set ''Love, God, Murder'' (a set compiled by Cash soon before his death in 2003), and two more tracks appeared on 2007's ''Ultimate Gospel''.
