L'etichetta Follow That Dream pubblicherà a partire da Giugno 2023 il set da 5 CD dal titolo "The How Great Thou Art Sessions" e lo presenta come segue:
Registrato tra Maggio e Giugno del 1966, l'album vincitore di 3 dischi di platino ha fatto avere ad Elvis il suo primo Grammy Award nella categoria "Best Sacred Performance".
Oltre alle eccellenti performance gospel che includono "Run On", "Stand By Me", "So High" e "Where No One Stands Alone", le sessioni hanno anche generato i successi secolari "If Every Day Was Like Christmas", "Love Letters ' e 'Indescribably Blue'.
Viene presentato come originariamente programmato da Elvis, prima della decisione della RCA di inserire il successo del 1965 "Crying In The Chapel".
Nel set è stato inserito un libretto di 24 pagine con informazioni, dettagli sulle registrazioni, fotografie e memorabilia.
