Physical Edition: Rev. Johnny L. “Hurricane” Jones: Jesus Christ from A to Z
Format: Vinyl-Only Release
Over fifty years ago, a young country preacher from the backwoods of Alabama arrived in Atlanta and rose to prominence as the fiery voice behind one of the city’s largest Baptist congregations. In a Southern metropolis renowned for its powerful preachers, Reverend Johnny L. Jones stood apart.
Nicknamed both “The Fireball Preacher” and, more famously, “The Hurricane,” Rev. Jones electrified the pulpit with a style that blended rich theological depth with high-octane, emotionally charged oratory. His delivery surged between sermon and song, thunder and whisper — always soul-stirring and unforgettable.
This special vinyl release preserves Jones’s unforgettable sermon “Jesus Christ from A to Z” — a rare example of his distinctive art, captured live in worship and brought to new audiences more than half a century later.
What’s Included:
- 1 Vinyl LP featuring the sermon “Jesus Christ from A to Z”
- Archival recordings compiled from over 50 years of reel-to-reel tapes (all previously unreleased)
- Liner notes offering biographical context and the historical significance of Rev. Jones’s ministry
Praise:
“The Methodist theologian John Wesley once asked, ‘Why should the devil have all the good music?’ Today, the Rev. Johnny L. Jones is proof that he doesn’t.” — Wyatt Williams, 2009
