At Folsom Prison album Product Description

At Folsom Prison album by Johnny Cash is scheduled to be released Mar 12, 2013 on the Sony Japan label. Want to hear part of the reason why Johnny Cash is an icon, a singer respected and influential in country, folk, and rock & roll? THIS is it! In 1968--one of the most tumultuous years in American history since the Depression years--Cash recorded an album live in front of a (literally) captive (but wildly appreciative) audience, in Folsom Prison. At Folsom Prison CD music With two guitars, bass, drums, and a small vocal group (including Cash's wife June Carter Cash and the Statler Brothers), Cash sings his hits and lesser-known songs ("Send a Picture of Mother") and some haunting country standards ("Dark as a Dungeon"), as well as songs about REAL outlaws ("Cocaine Blues") to a rapt audience that hangs on every word. At Folsom Prison music CDs That boom-chicka-boom sound is sharp as the first mean wind of winter, and Cash is in fine fettle (though his voice cracks from time to time). At Folsom Prison songs With its unique setting, this is as harrowing an album as any ever recorded. At Folsom Prison album Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p. 116) - Ranked #88 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "... Essential Cash.... At Folsom Prison CD music The 2,000 inmates roar their approval..." At Folsom Prison music CDs Spin (p. 86) - "[A] legendary 1968 concert, activist entertainment on a par with Bob Dylan and Public Enemy."
Entertainment Weekly (9/26/03, p. 34) - "... You get the sense that Cash could just as easily be in the audience as on stage at this raucous show, and the inmates know it..." Q (4/00, p. 106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "... represents Cash at the peak of his powers, bringing a highly combustible mixture of joy and pain to 2000 excitable inmates.... At Folsom Prison CD music contains a single disc. ...See Full Description

Worthwhile
I am very satisfied with the CD ordered. My husband had an old album, but with times changing CD's are much more compatible with the stereo systems.

Best Live CD I've Ever Heard
At Folsom Prison album Incredible. My mom insisted I get this CD telling me that it broke recods when it was released and no other country artist had broken out of their realm with such an incredible album. I was like, "Yeah I'll pick it up. Johnny is cool, but not really a slow country fan." Boy was I wrong. Johnny is not country. He's a raw, real, bad ass. He is an incredible song writer and this CD is so real you feel like you are in Folsom with these guys. At the end when the warden tries to kiss Johnny's butt You can actually feel him feeling like the moron he is as Johnny hardley says a word. You feel the warden's total humiliation. Then when the concert ends and you hear the prisoners being shuffled back to their cell blocks you actually feel as though you were there. I see why this album broke album sales and musical barriers when it was released. This album is legendary and my #1 favoorite. I'm proud to have it in my collection. He is his own. This album proves he a legend.
