Cotton Patch Gospel
Large Mixed Cast
Tom Key & Russell Treyz & Harry Chapin Price: $8.95
This is based on the book The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John
by Clarence Jordan in which the Gospel is presented in a setting of rural Georgia with country music songs
As this Gospel begins, they sing that “Somethin’s a-brewin’ in Gainesville.” Herod is the mayor of Atlanta and, inevitably, Christ is lynched by local thugs only to rise again
“A dream come true ... A breath of fresh air. Something good is happening. A reverential retelling of the book of Matthew. It takes the Bible’s passionate intensity and directness for contemporary meaning into the popular vein without diluting it” ~ Contemporary Christian Music
