Now I Have Everything

Now I Have Everything is the 23rd studio album by Wanda Jackson and her third dedicated entirely to gospel music following her 1971 conversion to Christianity. Recorded at the legendary Jack Clement Studio in June 1974, the album marks a significant departure from the rockabilly fire that defined her early career at Capitol Records. Produced by Billy Ray Hearn for Myrrh Records, the project showcases Jackson’s versatility as she navigates traditional hymns like 'Oh, How I Love Jesus' alongside original compositions like 'Let This Be My Attitude.' Sonically, the album sits at the intersection of 1970s country-pop and traditional spiritual music, featuring clean instrumentation and a notable emphasis on vocal clarity. A unique highlight is 'Jesus Put a Yodel in My Soul,' which cleverly reclaims her country roots for her new religious context. This album is a key document of the 'Jesus Music' movement of the 1970s, where established secular stars transitioned into the burgeoning contemporary Christian music industry.
