Believe in Him
Believe in Him is a gospel album and 71st overall album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Word Records in 1986. It features acoustic arrangements of classic gospel songs. In 2012, it was released entirely on CD for the first time on Bootleg Vol 4: The Soul of Truth, with a different running order. "Belshazzar" had previously been recorded by Cash for Sun Records. The album featured the Cathedral Quartet on background vocals.
It is notable as the first album of original material to be released by Cash for a label other than Columbia Records, with whom he was in the process of cutting ties at the time of release (though the tracks themselves were recorded in 1982, while he was still under contract to Columbia; it is unclear as to whether these recordings were ever offered to the label). He subsequently signed with Mercury Records.
