View More By Johnny Cash Our Review"The culture of a thousand years is shattered with the clanging of the cell door behind you," wrote Johnny Cash about prison life, which may explain why he spent so much of his time reaching out to convicts, entertaining inmates with dark and empathic material. ("We bring them a ray of sunshine in their dungeon," is how The Man in Black put it.) Cash played Folsom Prison frequently, insisting prison crowds were the best to play for and he's right. They're energetic, eager to feel the warmth and meaning and empathy that Johnny Cash delivers on song after song on this outlaw country classic.. Customer ReviewsPossibly The Best Live Album Ever Made (5 stars)Worth buying just for the opening cut, FOLSOM PRISON BLUES. Johnny Cash achieved mythic status with 'Folsom' here, as opposed to the Sun Records version. The song, the singer, and this band coupled with an audience of hard-timers is totallly intoxicating.

The only paying customers are paying time. Guards interrupt. They're calling for convicts to meet family. Cash mo BiographyBorn: February 26, 1932 in Kingsland, ARGenre: Country Years Active: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s Johnny Cash was one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music. With his deep, resonant baritone and spare percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound. Cash didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll. He created his own subgenre, falling halfway between the blunt emotional honesty of folk, the rebelliousness of rock & roll, and the world-weariness of country. Cash's career coincided with the birth of rock &...
