Updated September 24, 2026

AVAILABLE FOR SHIPPING or LOCAL PICKUP ~ SEE MEDIA DISCLAIMER BELOW > Group of four vintage Tennessee Ernie Ford gospel and hymn LP records issued by Capitol Records, representing several of Ford’s best-known sacred-music recordings. Ford’s rich bass-baritone voice and straightforward hymn arrangements made his religious albums among the most enduring recordings of his career. 1. HYMNS ~ Tennessee Ernie Ford collection of traditional Christian hymns, presented in the classic Capitol album format with Ford pictured holding an open hymnal. 2. NEARER THE CROSS ~ Sacred-music album featuring Ford with an open hymn book prominently displaying the title Nearer the Cross, continuing the devotional gospel style strongly associated with his Capitol recordings. 3. LONG, LONG AGO ~ Tennessee Ernie Ford LP featuring traditional and nostalgic material, with portrait cover and Capitol Records branding. 4. BEST OF TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD HYMNS ~ Compilation drawing together selections from Ford’s extensive catalog of gospel and traditional hymn recordings, issued in stereo by Capitol. Ford became one of the most recognizable voices in American popular and country music, but sacred music represented a particularly important part of his recording career. His hymn albums enjoyed substantial commercial success and helped introduce traditional Protestant hymns and gospel standards to a broad mainstream audience. A cohesive four-album grouping with strong appeal to collectors of Tennessee Ernie Ford, vintage gospel, country music, traditional hymns and Capitol Records releases. Sold together as photographed.
