Johnny Cash sings "He Touched Me"

Couldn't find it on youtube, so I had to upload it:

Taken from the new Cash compilation "Bootleg Vol. IV: The Soul Of Truth", the song was recorded on January 24, 1979 in Nashville and features Rodney Crowell.
The whole compilation was produced by Gregg Geller (and Steve Berkowitz) and mastered by Vic Anesini.

We all know which version is better, right?

But during my search on youtube I discovered the VERY BEST VERSION (that guy actually gives me the creeps, for Christ's sake):

Lordy Lordy that guyis scary

Ironically on that 51 track album, this was the only gospel song that Elvis also recorded.

I have yet to find it in a British store, but it may get released slightly later over here? not sure. either way, A believer Sings The Truth, which makes up the first CD, is a great album.

I ordered it over amazon.com and it took me about two weeks to be delivered to Germany.
On amazon.uk it says it's been released on April 2 and is available there.
