At Folsom Prison

Classic prison concert from the man in black.

Mucho country algo decepcionado lo esperaba que me llamase más

This album is a little less rough around the edges than the San Quentin offering. I like the song selection, he mixes the tempo up nicely, and they all, in some way, seem suited for a prision audience. I especially like the Long Black Veil and Green Green Grass of Home, which I didn’t realize was a death row song. And of course, "Flushed from the Bathroom of your Heart" is a classic. June Carter didn’t seem to be having one of her best days.

You can feel he is enjoying all the way; complicity with audience -which is in constant attention to the lyrics and the man- is almost palpable. Kind of a greatest hits enriched and improved. One of most memorable and original live records ever. 4,5

Was für ein Event, ehe man solche Auftritte als solches zu nee nennen angefangen hat. Diese warmherzige Verbrüderung mit den Knackis ist rührend, da mag man sich nicht vorstellen müssen, wofür die Kerle alles einsitzen.

Ganz schön, aber spricht mich auch nicht wirklich an. Guter Mann, der Man in Black.

Quando uma pessoa com um talento real consegue transmitir a verdade dele, com todas as incongruências, defeitos e qualidades, um álbum como esse é o resultado.

Cash proves he is every measure the legend on this record. Even though the vast majority is covers, his crowd work is great and you can hear a pin drop on The Long Black Veil. Jackson is a cool duet. booing the warden on the last track is great

Rollo.

Really nice vibe in the prison

Ouuuu mama

I respect Cash for his ability to connect with the audience and his showmanship but I’m not a fan of Country and this is pretty Deep South Country. Respect and Acknowledgement, but I wouldn’t seek it out to be honest

Good, but Very American. Likely to be loved by trump supporters.

Fun album from the prison, it’s interesting to hear them all having a good time

Yes. Yes. Yes. All the yes.

Alles Super. Musik. Setting.

macht schon spaß to listen to -3

Johnny Cash is the real deal. This is one of the coolest albums I've ever listened to. I love the crowd work, and you can tell he was playing for each individual in that room. Great great great work!

Icon. That hard driving sound was uniquely his. While it was not a marketing playing in a prison helped brand him as a rebel and renegade

Loved it. Incredibly raw, and the setting catches the moment, artist, and songs so well.

One of the few live albums I've heard where the audience is just as much a part of the performance. The songs are great, Johnny's performance is charmingly flawed, but it's all about the atmosphere created by the little details: the inmate's reactions, Johnny's asides, and the warden's announcements.

Typical Cash album. Not big fan of his muic. I like only some specific songs, but overall liked this album. If I'll randomly stumble onto it again, I'll listen it, but won't purposefully listen to it and not on repeat obviously.

what a wild, brilliant work.

What a legendary album. I just love his interactions with the inmates, it makes the music even more powerful. I don't remember hearing the announcements and chit chat at the end, I like that they didn't cut that off.

Funny

Love this

good times

A true legend, a phenomenal performance. The stars aligned perfectly to make this perfect album, a snapshot in time of an artist's career unlike any other.

3.5 - this is great. loads of charm and great atmosphere. awesome tunes

Nostalgic, reminds me of listening to music with Abe.

Songs Divorced Uncles Get Turnt Up To

Already know that this is a great album. Listened to it a lot:)

Pretty good, lively

He's the king of country. I can enjoy listening to it, but I don't seek it.

God Bless Johnny Cash!

Some good songs here but a little too live for me.

I've only heard the first track, but it's a great concept. Not something I'd always listen to, but I have a soft spot for Johnny Cash. I love that they kept all the quips and dead-space, really puts you there.

Absolut bra, även om country inte är min grej. Johnny får det ändå att svänga.

The Man in Black!

Absolutely classic, a list of best ofs for Cash coupled with the amazing dialogue between performer and prisoners.

One of the greatest of all time.

Now this I can understand being on the list!!

Very good

Anyone think it's a bit fucked how whenever he mentions murder or anything illegal all the boys in the crowd are like "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh". A three more because of the iconic nature and event than the music. They do blend into one lots of the time.

Fav Song: Folsom Prison Blues

I do enjoy Johnny Cash and respect his music. Not something that I just turn on though

sad lyrics. wont listen again

Hated it. As if Johnny Cash studio recordings weren't bad enough, it's even worse live. Don't get it at all.

You already fuckin kno. A quintessential bop all the way through.

Something special

Nothing like this ever great songs so down to earth, gritty and real.

His songs always cheere me up. I love his tales and he‘s a great entertainer. Also, his voice is beautiful 😊.

Not as bad as I thought it would be :)

Dark as the Dungeon is hilarious Surprisingly entertaining audience and performance

Meinasin jättää kesken, mutta kituuttelin läpi...

They all sound the same. Even managed to suck the soul out of Green, Green Grass of Home!

Ja visst fan är detta ett album man bör höra innan man dör.

I cried

Really good stuff. I might just go and get obsessed with Johnny Cash now

Johnny Cash is such a badass. I enjoyed learning about Glen Sherley, the inmate who wrote the final song on the album. Best track: Folsom Prison Blues.

Great live album.

Ei Käteinen mulle wörki juurikaan. Yliarvostettu imo, mutta menkööt.

Legendary live album

1968. Key Songs: Folsom Prison Blues, Cocaine Blues

Pretty good record

Johnny cash was a bad man that had some pretty good songs about terrible things, sadly the kind of gallows humour that accompanies the performance didn't detach itself much from the horror.

Didn't listen but im sure good

I don't know anyone who doesn't like Johnny Cash, and this is him at his best. I love how it's a live album but he sounds about the same as in the studio, it's authentic as. 5/5.

As far into country and western as I’m willing to wander!

Really fun listening to his banter with the crowd (inmates!) and how composed his performance is around what seems like a fairly chaotic setting. I love the interruptions by the warden. However, I'm not a huge fan of the songs themselves, so this is something I would see as a curio, rather than a record I would return to often.

"This show is being recorded for an album release on Columbia Records, and you can't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that." "How does that grab you, Bob?"
