This spent six weeks at #1 on the country chart and just missed the pop Top 40 for Johnny Cash. He and his wife, June Carter Cash, had recently visited Israel and Johnny developed the concept of a gospel album about the Holy Land. The song was written by Mr. Blue Suede Shoes himself, Carl Perkins, and also featured the Carter Family and the Statler Brothers; all of them were part of Cash’s road show. “Mama sang tenor” was sung by June (some say it’s Jan Howard); “Me and little brother...” was by Don Reid and Lew DeWitt of the Statlers.
