Review

Eurythmics' debut album, In the Garden, is the missing link between the work of the Tourists, who included both Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox, and 1983's commercial breakthrough, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). Co-produced by Kraftwerk producer Conny Plank at his studio in Cologne, Germany, it has some of the distant, mechanistic feel of the European electronic music movement, but less of the pop sensibility of later Eurythmics. The chief difference is in Lennox's singing; even when the musical bed is appealing, Lennox floats ethereally over it, and the listener doesn't focus on her. As a result, In the Garden wasn't much of a success, though when Eurythmics streamlined their sound and emphasized Lennox's dominating voice on subsequent releases, they found mass popularity. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

For the Van Morrison song, see In the Garden (Van Morrison song).

"In the Garden" is a gospel song written by C. Austin Miles (1868-1946), a former pharmacist who served as editor and manager at Hall-Mack publishers for 37 years. According to Miles' great-granddaughter, the song was written "in a cold, dreary and leaky basement in New Jersey that didn't even have a window in it let alone a view of a garden."[1] The song was first published in 1912 and popularized during the Billy Sunday evangelistic campaigns of the early twentieth century by two members of his staff, Homer Rodeheaver and Virginia Asher.

A June 18, 1958 recording by Perry Como was part of his album When You Come to the End of the Day. [2] The gospel song is sung in the closing scene of the film Places in the Heart and by Ronee Blakley in the Robert Altman film Nashville. It is also used in juxtaposition to "Blue Tail Fly" near the beginning of the Merchant/Ivory film of Carson McCullers' "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe".

Words from "In the Garden" are inscribed on a bench at the Earl Kemp Long grave in Winnfield, Louisiana. It was Long's favorite hymn.
