Even Johnny Cash trusted Albert Hammond. Albert told us: „After a big show Johnny Cash asked me: „Do you have any songs for me?‘,“ said Albert. „Spontaneously, I played the song ‚Praise The Lord And Pass The Soup‘, because I knew, that he is religious. Then he invited me to his home in Nashville and we produced the song together,“ reveals Albert Hammond, who sings the title in his program, too.
