    Obscure long lost gospel album from Johnnie Frirson, recorded direct to tape from his home following his return from the Vietnam war.

    The seven songs on Have You Been Good To Yourself are overtly religious; some, such as “Out Here On Your Word,” are strident and faithful; others, like the self-questioning “Have You Been Good To Yourself,” are more meditative. They reflect the difficult situation that Frierson was in when recording, shell-shocked from his time in the military and grieving the untimely death of his son. "He was really tying to find his way," remembers Frierson's daughter Keesha in Andria Lisle's liner notes. "And writing and making music were a way out for him."

    Remastered and released professionally for the first time, the message spread by Frierson – who passed away in 2010 – remains undimmed.
