At Folsom Prison

This was such an engaging album concept and album itself. Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart particularly tickled me, evocative af

HELL YEAH - I’ve just seen this generated and I’m so excited this is one of my all-time favourite albums !!!! —— Okay so actual delight to get to spend some time with my old friend Johnny but isn’t this just such a perfect album? I find the very idea that it was performed and recorded at Folsom as moving?? It brings to life each word that comes from Johnny’s mouth (his heart??). One of the things I love about Cash is how funny so many of his songs are and I feel like this album gives you a little glimpse at that humour. Faves in no particular order: Folsom Prison Blues, 25 Minutes to Go, Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart, Jackson (top 3 Johnny song for me), Give My Love to Rose I love this album!!!!!

I liked how live this album sounded. By this point we’ve had quite a few live albums (as much as I would like to see Daft Punk Alive 07 on here, I think my stance is we shouldn’t be including live albums if those already exist on the list in original recorded form because otherwise it’s just double dipping) BUT the live quality here was really nice. The audience came through pretty strongly and I liked hearing the spontaneity and crowd interactions

One of the great singer songwriters at his peak. A perfect setlist and performance. Excellent

langweilig

No me gusta este tipo de música

dirty egg suckin dawg cash is never really my thing but I love learning more about him and his projects and he's kinda that guy

One of the best country albums ever. Just solid. Listen to it straight through, no shuffle, because the crowd noise is part of the experience. Johnny gets up, plays for people who are living a life he's experienced, banters with them, reminding them that there's hope for outside. There's no better way to close this album than how he did. Everything goes to show that, even under that outlaw costume, there's a heart of gold. Honest, fun, soulful. My rating: 10/5

Overall thoughts the day after the first listen - This album was a very pleasant surprise to me. I did not get excited seeing a 60s country album as my first one on here, but I was prejudiced! The concept is truly amazing, and while I've heard of live gigs in prisons in America, I never knew some were recorded live. And hearing the audience in the background made this album for me, even if the music itself is enjoyable as well - I feel it would not be as much on it's own, or it would not have been recorded in the way it was. It is one thing to listen to songs and stories of vagrants and evil deeds, separating yourself from the realities of those stories, but that cannot be done with this album. A lot of us cannot help but enjoy stories about morally grey and actually villainous characters, but we always do it from a moral high ground. Hearing this album, I was there listening to Johnny with those prisoners, and kind of felt bad for enjoying the stories of their suffering. Not in a sadistic way, but simply having emotions brought out by Johnny's storytelling. I felt hypocritical in feeling sorry for them, yet continuing to listen and wanting more. I truly hope some of those men that listened to this album with me got to experience a happy life, in the end. The prison system is brutal and inhumane, and while I consider some irredeemable, those that are not deserved much better. But even if the more I think about it, the heavier the album feels, listening to it is a delight. It truly charming, thanks to Johnny's voice, the inmates bright cheers and the comedic interruptions. First listen - #1 'Folsom Prison Blues' - Love his voice, and together with the finger-snapping bouncy guitar it's all very old American country (from a 25yo Serbian girl's perspective). The cheery instruments and the bluesy picture painted is simple and tugs at my emotions. This being played live in a prison is truly adding an interesting dimension. The 'fine young men' he is playing for, I can't help wonder about them and their lives, prisons have always been a controversial topic, and knowing there is good men in there, as well as some very bad men, it's truly a complex kind of emotion I am left with. Do some deserve the blues and the mine? #2 'Dark as the dungeon' - Love hearing the crowd cheer, and Johnny interact with them, it elevates the album for me, makes me curious and engaged, even when listening to a genre I don't seek out usually. 'Dark as the dungeon' is reminding me in some of it's writing of the way Hozier writes, the prisoners rotting away in their cells, can they ever truly leave that place, or does the mine change you forever? #3 'I Still Miss Someone' - Short and quite lovely, Johnny's voice is once again elevating a really simple song and making it enjoyable. I love the simplistic story telling so far, it's got that old americana charm. #4 'Cocaine Blues' - Speaking of old americana! 'Cocaine blues' is somewhat funny, but hearing the prisoners I am reminded yet again that some of those voices might be reminiscing on their own murders listening to this! Yikes! Anyway, this would slap in the saloon in Valentine. #5 '25 Minutes to Go' - Love love linear storytelling in songs. This one had me feeling hopeful, but alas. 'I can see the mountains, I can see the skies. And it's too darn pretty for a man to don't want to die' Lovely. #6 'Orange Blossom Special' - Harmonica! It's so fun and sounds like the oppressive summer heat to me (kinda like cicadas in a weird way, maybe some that sampled that 60s pure white snow). The scenery and mood he depicts, while I understand is real and truly existed, can't help feeling like fantasy to me. The old American country is such a nostalgic, impossible place in my mind, there truly is no other culture that brings a similar feeling. And again, I just can't help but be taken to the universe of rdr, it's an irresistible pull - even if the era is so so off. #7 'The Long Black Veil' - 'But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans, in a long black veil, she cried over my bones' - love the gothic imagery. Again, the best part of the songs is the storytelling and the voice delivering the story. #8 'Send A Picture of Mother' - Quite touching, I love that the writer is one of the prisoners. #9 'The Wall' - Just a really sad song once you equate it to real life experience, I cannot imagine prison life, and truly believe that a reform is necessary. Even today, let alone 60 years ago. #10 'Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog' - What the hell? Funny and weird. Had to google what the hell an egg-sucking dog is. #11 'Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart' - Another humorous one. Nothing amazing, but nice to hear the laughs in the back. #12 'Jackson' - June Carter! Amazing feature, even though Johnny's voice is lovely, I was glad to hear someone a bit spunkier. I like that she's having fun with it. #13 'Give my Love to Rose' - A good song. Sad of course to hear about the families left behind. #14 'I Got Stripes' - More imagery of the harsh prison life. Truly amusing having your misery sung about with an upbeat fiddle can relieve some of that gloom and doom. #15 'Green, Green Grass of Home' - Oh this one got me. It's devastating, God! It's just sad man, but also very beautiful. The juxtaposition of his dreams of a happy reunion and the reality of the reunion being his funeral, yeah this is just tragic. #16 'Greystone Chapel' - This is very much something that I personally enjoy. I love a lot of music but really don't get into the intricacies and technicalities. If I'm not wrong, there is an electrical guitar in here I did not hear much until now, as well as a rock sound that wasn't really present in the album. I like it! I was expecting more religious themes in this album, knowing the US country, but this song is really the first on the album where that theme is a standout. It makes sense for the ending, can't imagine much outside of religion giving comfort and hope to prisoners.

Medio embole. Country?

Rocks

One of very few country albums I can enjoy. Johnny Cash seems to be having a lot of fun

Wouldn't wanna be johnny's married best friend. 4/5 Top tracks: cocaine blues, 25 minutes to go, the long black veil

Greatfgggg

me finding out johnny cash is a real person and not some american movie character

Same review as Johnny Cash at San Quentin... "When to listen: Not sure I would again, not because it isn't amazing just because I don't need to. Great album, great music, but it just... is."

What an amazing look into history and the performance is amazing. Feels like this happened in a completely different world. The music amazing but I'm absolutely struck by the setting, the honestly, the whole thing, wild.

Absolutely perfect cash album, amazing songs and the live recoding makes it feel more personal, truly legendary and iconic album

I liked the energy between Cash and the public. But i'm not a fan of 60's country.

remember when celebrities used to sing at prisons???? woah .... lost art

Jako zabavno za slusat al ova live verzija u komadu

One of the best live albums of all time. With humor, love, soul and pain, Johnny connects with the inmates on so many levels. Excellent flow to the live show as well

Den enda liveskivan.

Håller san quentin lite lite högre i och med den vilda stämningen, men den här är verkligen inte långt efter.

For whatever reason, it reminds me of my grandpa, even if i don't remember him ever listening to Cash, perhaps it's the instrumentals or because he liked the 60s. It is not something I usually listen to, but I liked it, actually saved some, the lyrics are catchy and it's fun. A pleasant surprise.

I dont like country, but I do like this.

3.5

Todo un señor

Conozco dos tres canciones de Johnny Cash, que por cierto me gustan, pero jamás me hubiera animado a escuchar un álbum completo de él. Tengo que admitir que sí me gustó.

Classic. A lot of charm and character in this live album, appreciate the fact Cash didn't give a fuck and talked and goofed around.

Late 60s country. First effort after getting clean with help of June.

really fun, great tunes

Possibly one of the best live albums I've heard. The production quality grabbed me instantly. The interaction between Johnny Cash and the prisoners is great.

Fun. Catchy. Energetic

Very interesting interaction between Cash and the audience, overall energetic and interesting vocals, but not 100% my type of music. Good for driving or in the morning.

Based on my tastes, this album didn't have a chance in hell; I don't like Country and I don't like Live albums... Despite those preconceptions though, this album is so conceptually cool. The topics he covers would usually be a turn-off for me, which is part of the reason I generally dislike hiphop (at least, the gangsta kind). Guns, killing people, taking drugs. But... he's singing about these things... in a prison... with prisoners cheering at really inappropriate things... it's honestly just kinda wild. The interactions with the prisoners were darkly funny. The songs themselves were also largely dark humour. Overall I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. This isn't a 4 or 5 star album for me, quite simply because I didn't think the music was anywhere near good enough - Johnny is a good singer and a good entertainer, but country music like this is so bland. Being entirely realistic, the music here would be 2 for me, but I'm bumping it up to a 3 because of what it is as a whole.

Genuinely the craziest album I've ever listened to. Normally I'd call the lyrics nonsensical but they are in a prison with inmates cheering... I'm giving this a lot of credit for the sheer creativity. Low 4

Johnny Cash is the patron saint of not giving an F about anything that he doesn't want to. This is a great live album by a very self-assured musician who isn't out to prove anything other than just playing good music. That he sings about doing coke, shooting his woman, and killing a man in Reno "just to watch him die" is about as dark and "metal" as it gets.

he truly is an enigma

He is Johnny Cash and they are trapped in there with him.

Cocaine blues + 25 minutes to go slaps.

Personal enjoyment: 5/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

Possibly the must fun-sounding event ever to happen behind prison walls. Cash is at his rascally best here, resuscitating a career that definitely seemed to be falling off after reaching its peak a decade earlier.

Great stuff, but I enjoyed At San Quentin more. Think his banter and the crowd reaction was better on that one. I might've flipped them if I heard this one first though. I started out questioning whether the list really needs 2 Johnny Cash live at a prison albums, but it'd be a shame to leave either of them out.

Legend

A rather enjoyable album, and in this case I like the storytelling nature of the lyrics (which I usually hate). However, the songs are overly simple and get repetitive over the course of an album. After the album, Spotify played a Glen Campbell song which was immediately leagues above in terms of quality. Edit: next up Willie Nelson, also a completely different league ... I'm recognizing a pattern here.

I can smell this album

One of Hannah’s favs

Somewhat entertaining, lots of talking

Love this still

I'm boooooredddd. Lyrics are funny but also a tad repetitive after a while. Just like the sound. Sorry not sorry

AMAZING ALBUM he should not have killed hsi wife tho

I understand how this is an iconic album and there are a couple of songs I really like, but his voice is very monotonous, without much range or versatility. Many of the songs sound the same.

Recidivism would be at an all time low if we still did this

Honestly the commentary and bits in between (and sometimes the middle of the songs) were the main appeal, it made it like a story come to life! Not really my genre of music but I got into it the second time around, It got a sway or two out of me!

Folsom Prison Blues – Plagiarism controversy aside, this did give us one of the greatest lines Johny Cash ever wrote – “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” Dark as the Dungeon – a sad waltz, worth listening to for the interaction with the audience of convicts, instantly building a rapport. I Still Miss Someone – doesn’t quite match the version h edid with Dylan, but nice enough. Cocaine Blues – you can telll the care he took with building a set that would appeal to an audience of convicts. 25 Minutes to Go – one of Shel Silverstein’s ditties (most famous as a songwriter for A Boy Named Sue, another Cash standard, and probably the most intimidating figure ever to write a bestselling children’s book) Orange Blossom Special – another railroad song with the guitar following the rhythm of a steam engine.... unusual to hear a versio of this song without fiddle since it’s one of THE big fiddle tunes. The Long Black Veil – another “free spirit outlaw” track, again elevated a little by the interaction with the audience Send a Picture of Mother – it’s got to be admitted at this point in the album that while Johnny Cash may have been a great singer and Songwriter, his guitar playing was merely okay. Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog/Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart – variety show drivel. Jackson – fine. Give My Love to Rose – interesting to hear this early version. I Got Stripes another convict’s tale. Green, Green Grass of Home – a standard version of a country standard Greystone Chapel – nice to end with a song written in the place of performance.

LOVE johnny Cash. And love that he actually recorded this at Folsom Prison! What a cool dude. I liked the whole album but I really vibed with The Wall, Dark as the Dungeon, and of course, Folsom Prison Blues and Jackson. What a treat!

I’m not a big country music fan but Jonny Cash has some great songs

I like Johnny Cash but didn't think this was his best work. He laughed in the middle of 3 ballads and June came off as a ditzy country bumpkin. I enjoyed listening to the extended album with Carl Perkins and the Statler Brothers more. At San Quentin was also better.

Gotta have the Man In Black on the list. Live at Folsum Prison might be a 'hear it before you die'. I just heard it as a normal function of living my life. I love the joking with the crowd and everything sounds pretty good given the recording setup. I think a few songs the acoustic guitar's E string needed to be tuned up a little and it was bothering me. I'm going to guess that Johnny Cash's other recordings are on the list as well.

5 stars. Prove me wrong.

pas son meilleur 3/5

Probably the greatest live album of all time

Don't drop the soap when the man in black comes around or something.

I prefer old man Cash, but if I want younger cash the this is what I’d choose.

Johnny Cash had an amazing voice, a bad attitude, and a repertoire of classic, simple folk songs (and new songs written in a classic folk style). There's nothing groundbreaking here, but it's solid music well performed. I did notice a few cases where phrases ran a few beats longer or short than I'd expect, but the band all followed Cash and it never became a problem. This is more important as an event than as a live album, but it's solid.

yes you can have a glass of water

Just for the banter and the crowd responses.... A classic from start to finsih. 5 "Americana classic" stars.

Absolute kino, Johnny Cash my beloved

Johnny Cash in a prison. Badass. Think this one beats out san Quentin. Prisoners cheering to songs about taking cocaine and shoot bad bitches down

A legend.

Folk and fun! Travels you to other days Freedom and summer

i like the instruments and the rhythm of the song the album also feels very linear and unified from song to song which is satisfying to the ear

Very raw and emotional, uplifting but sad Lovely ending and sweet to listen to

4/5.

Legendary

A classic

- Oh great, yet another Zio. I can't tell you if he'd change his mind these days, but, I mean, "Professor Shalom Goldman makes a strong case for Johnny Cash being the forerunner of the American Christian Zionist movement", his 5 trips to Israel, and "Cash's initial visit to the Israel in 1966 was followed by a trip with June in 1968 and developed into a lifelong project to serve as advocates for the State of Israel, even when such advocacy was unfashionable among American performing artists" is pretty damning on that front. Another boycott. - The positives: 1. his voice is cool, 2. there's a lot of humour and it's an interesting concept to sing upbeat prison songs to prisoners, and 3. he clearly has charisma. - The negatives: The songs all have the same honkey tonk sound, one of my least favourites, and they're mainly violent and misogynistic. - Also, his lack of range and very very bare bones, uninteresting instrumentation make nothing stand out, and the songs don't have any hooks (musically - they are only interesting topically and in terms of humour). So, even though the songs are short, it feels like the album goes on forever because every song is so same-y musically. - I appreciate banter at a live show, but it has to also be backed by good music, and this all just feels jokey. If I were in prison, I'd appreciate this as a break from prison life and because it feels like Johnny Cash was relating to me, but I'm not - I can listen to whatever I want, and the songs kind of suck.

5/5 definitionally the music of America

its good for its genre but i really despise country

*Cool history and great live performance

You have to be a JC fan to love this and I am not. Fun and at times funny, but not something I’d seek out on my own.

I mean... come on. Don't let a bunch of country idiots who don't understand him distract that Johnny Cash is, and always will be, the best. Everything about this is fucking awesome. 10/10 he's the man in black at the hight of his powers walking into prison and immediately becoming the hardest motherfucker in the room.

This is such a cool album. I couldn't even imagine how Johnny Cash felt singing this live at the prison, he must have felt like an absolute God. I don't know an awful lot about Mr Cash but this album sounds like a man at the peak of his powers. Folsom Prison Blues, Cocaine Blues, 25 Minutes To Go, Egg Sucking Dog and Jackson are the standouts for me. A solid 3.5/5.

already listened

Johnny Cash is who got me into country.

A live recording that leaves in all the banter and mistakes that are always edited out in production, Folsom Prison is a masterclass in presenting an artist at his creative and popular peak. Johnny Cash is a national treasure - a national icon who represents his genre like only a few others do. Performing in front of a crowd who had nothing to lose and in some cases nothing to live for, this is the toughest audience anyone could possibly be asked to sing for. Cash absolutely nails it. If I tried to make a list of best live albums, this is on the shortlist. My only complaint is that the album is too short - the Apple Music version linked is the original release of 15 tracks in 45 minutes. There is the Legacy Edition that is complete and includes both shows and rehearsals: 60 tracks in 166 minutes. Maybe that’s too much, but it’s worth listening at least once and probably should be the version on this list. 5 stars.

Album no 6 Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (1968) Pleasant enough. Johnnys voice is obviously great. I can’t really pick out a favourite track.. maybe the green green grass of home. Not for me. The prison announcements for inmates to report to various places were interesting though.. EDIT- Greystone Chapel is probably the best track ⭐️⭐️

I love this when it's foot stomping high tempo rollicking good times. I like the lore behind it. This is far from the perfect album though, some of the mid song patter is a bit forced and the ballads drag.

Seems strange to have to explain this. As legendary an American performer as we have. An incredible character and storyteller in his element playing where no one else would. A sad reminder how far country has fallen. Country stars used to be badasses, now they’re boot-licking MAGA losers that don’t actually play country. But we’ll always have Johnny.

Hmm, het begint zeer leuk maar is eigenlijk echt nogal monotoon.

Bueno, no entiendo bien que acabo de escuchar. Tuve que googlear porque este señor hizo un concierto en la cárcel y obtuve unas cuantas explicaciones, de todas formas no lo entendí bien. Se ve que es, otra vez, una experiencia de la "americana" a la que no puedo acceder. Al menos pude interpretar como los presos parecían estar interpelados por las canciones de Cash. Musicalmente, no soy fanático del rockabilly ni del country particularmente, por lo que las canciones no me generan nada en particular. Si me parecen interesantes las letras, sencillas y directas, que van desde lo cómico, pasando por lo amoroso hasta lo depresivo del encierro y el aislamiento. Por eso mi voto. Es secreto (6/10).

Quite good.

5/5 one of the original live albums

I love the concept of this album, truly so cool but I don’t think the music really does it for me…

Love the thematic material in this album and filmed live at a prison ?? so good! his vocals are playful and sorrowful all at once !

I’ve said before that I’m not a fan of live albums, but this is definitely an exception. This album is Johnny at his best. The song list are all great songs in that old style cowboy country story telling. His interaction with the audience is fairly wholesome and certainly humorous. Loved it!

This is a classic. Really love this on vinyl.

I liked this a lot! 25 minutes to go was great

Don’t really ever listen to Johnny cash but really enjoyed this one!

3.5 This being the second “live from prison” Cash album I’ve gotten on the list, you can see that it’s a bit of an act for Cash. He hits a lot of the same bits, a lot of the same jokes (calling out the wardens, making sure he cusses and then goes “oops I’m not supposed to cuss”), you realize it’s a bit less spontaneous than you thought. Cash is a performer. It’s a part of an act. A successful act, yes, but it’s all probably a little bit less sincere than it originally appeared. The quality of the music is still high, of course, though that last song by inmate Sherely is really cloying and stinky. Sorry, buddy!

All time classic. Grab a whisky and enjoy.

My favorite country record

This is the live album everyone else wishes they could make

One of the greatest live albums ever, argue with the wall

Couple solid songs in here but overall it was too similar to each other. Maybe it was a wrong time type of thing and i would enjoy it a lot more in the future or in the right time. I could give it a second chance sometime.

Oh I liked it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Brilliant

I'm not big on country music, but Johnny Cash is all right.

Not my favorite outlaw country, but it's not the worst either. He's no Mojo Nixon.

hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

ah shit 🤪. let's get bizzayyyyyyy! i respect his commitment to the bit. it's one note but a very good note. except the actual bit songs. i get it. but you kept them on the album????? 4.1-5.

Classic

At Folsom Prison was a decently fun listen. I listened to At San Quentin a while back and this album has very similar vibes to that one from things like Cash's general presence during these shows, the fact they came out a year apart from each other and they were also both recorded at prisons. I definitely like Cash's very non-serious presence as i could tell that he was having a pretty fun time doing these performances. The problem is though, none of these songs really stand out from each other. I think that this album is rather similar to Tom Waits' Nighthawks At The Diner where its more so the way it comes together that makes this album enjoyable rather than any specific songs so, definitely a good listen, just not my favorite. Best Song: Green, Green Grass Of Home Worst Song: I Still Miss Someone Side note: Last Johnny Cash album which means: 1. American IV: The Man Comes Around 2. At Folsom Prison 3. At San Quentin

What a rousing upbeat set of tracks this album is despite the story lines in them… absolutely crazy what this man has done here. The upbeat tempos, the fact you have to tap along is a given and the clear precise vocal and story telling prowess is out of this world. ‘Cocaine blues’ is an absolute masterpiece! Was there a mistake in ‘the wall’ who cares!! Think I’m going to go listen to the 60 track deluxe album now… Best track- I keep heading back to ‘cocaine blues’ but it could have been any! Worst track- ‘the long blank veil’ didn’t have the same feel as the rest. 10/10 and best album on this journey so far!

Johnny Cash - Folsom A man on his uppers singing songs about murder, heartache and loss to a bunch of locked-up guys full murder, heartache and loss. What a genius idea! And it is the interjections from the crowd, the prison p.a. announcements and Johnny's 'banter' that take this collection up a level. His band is on top form. The Perkins bros on guitar and bass, and the casually mercurial RS Holland on drums are so good it is worth moving on to the legacy edition to hear their solo contributions before the shows proper start. Best Song - so many but I always ache for the heartbreakingly sad Give My Love To Rose (but could have been Folsom Prison Blues, 25 Minutes to Go or Orange Blossom Special) Worst Track - Green, Green Grass of Home 9/10 (flags a teeny bit towards to end - but sets us up nicely for further live albums At San Quentin and others)

This was great, you can actually hear how much fun JC and the band were having. I love how so many songs are funny, poking around kind of jams that the point is not to move the needle on song craft but to be pure entertainers and this album was that, entertainment.

I grew up in rural nsw. My father drive coaches. This is holy scrip. No notes.

The trick is to imagine you were an inmate. I don't imagine having your arse in stir at Folsom in the late 60's was particularly pleasant. Then a couple of washed up rockabilly heroes and a Carter woman turn up with the same band from the 50's. You probably figure it gets you out the cell and away from yard duty. And then they drop this set, what the heck! The Tennessee Three don't get enough credit, tight, tight, motherfucking tight band and Luther is a Telecaster hero. And playing alongside of him is one of the greatest rockabilly song writing geniuses of all time, also playing a Tele, fuck off! Worth noting no Carl, different Fabs, very different and not as good. And then the man himself, I'm not sure if he's adopted the In Black persona yet, but it is coming. June's got him off the coke and raring to go. And then there's June herself, the link back to the hootenanny vibe of the Carters. I mean this defies categorisation, its not country per se, if it is anything it is Americana. There was never a time I didn't know this, I knew this as a kid in primary school, everyone's parents had it. This is what this type of process is supposed to be about.

The very first record I obsessively loved as a child, probably aged about three, was Frank Sheen's Tribute to Johnny Cash which had a bunch of songs covered from At Folsom Prison. This budget-label sound-alike was Sheen's only album, also issued under the alternative title Smash Hits Cash Style. My parents didn't really buy many records. My mother liked Christian music, and my father liked Baroque organ music, comedy records and the odd semi-novelty album that caught his attention. I don't know what prompted him to buy this Johnny Cash knock-off, but he did. It was my absolute favourite as a tiny child. I would ask for "the man in the hat record" and my parents would play it for me at nap time. I wouldn't sleep, but would lie quietly listening, calling out to "turn the record over" at the end of the first side. I didn't really understand all the lyrics -- it took years before I understood what 'I Got Stripes' meant. But I think the simple tunes, story-telling and jaunty rhythms appealed. And that's all Cash. The story of Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison is one of the great legends of country (and highly influential in rock and roll mythology, too). I won't repeat it here. But this is stone-cold classic record. It's roughly recorded and full of mistakes, but it is so real and immediate. I wouldn't change a note. This surely is one of the albums that absolutely earns its place on this list of albums you _must_ hear. Fifty bazillion stars.

Great listen felt personal

Enjoyed this but don't think it was needed as well as Live at San Quentin

Absolutely great live record!

No me ha parecido gran cosa, Johnny Cash no me encaja o está sobrevalorado.

I've loved this album a long time. I think it was one of the first Johnny Cash records I bought.

Why was this album so wholesome

This is such an excellent album, John and June, and I love the Guard interventions, some real classic songs on here, what. Talent - love this man.

Good. Pretty wild the songs and the setting.

Great album - maybe the best live album ever?

very cool album...expected nothing good since it was country but still exceeded my expectations

Singing Folsom prison at Folsom Prison is S Tier.

Already familiar with this one. One of the best live albums 👍

Özellikle açmam

loved that every song had a story. Truly beautiful

Folsom prison blues - 5 Dark as the dungeon - 3 I still miss someone - 3 Cocaine blues - 4 25 minutes to go - 4 Orange blossom special - 3 The long black veil - 4 Send a picture of mother - 3 The wall - 3 Dirty old egg-suckin' dog - 3 Flushed from the bathroom of your heart - 3 Jackson - 4 Give my love to rose - 4 I got stripes - 3 Green, green grass of home - 3 Greystone chapel - 3

Enjoyable, but not my style. ★★★

A step up from Willie Nelson in my view

More of a historic artefact than an album I'd return to over and over again (and where is the line between telling someone else's story or your own?) but yeah, I don't mind this one at all.

Live albums don’t count…plus I’ve never really understood the mythology around this, misogyny, animal cruelty and blame based humour, what’s to love? One star but not among the very worst of the one stars. Tom.

No está mal pero el otro álbum de Cash en la prisión es mucho mejor, tiene muchos más momentos de interacción con el público y mejor repertorio. No quita esto lo increíble y único de la obra de el gran joni jon. No queda guardado porque prefiero At San Quentin (que ya he escuchado varias veces desde que tocó). Me resta la duda de que opinaría si no hubiera tocado el otro antes, nunca sabremos.

can i get a glass of water?

Interesante, no está mal

Some of the best country of all time here

4 for the music, 5 for the history/import of this recording/venue .

I hate country, but Johnny Cash rocks.

It was really good

I really did not expect to like it this much because I never listen to this kind of music. I don't know if I'm going to listen to it again but it was a good experience

Spokooo, nic szczególnego

San Quentin was much better.

A uniquely American album: a controversial country star goes to play a classic set in a prison. At times sort of silly, but a good listen for sure.

The man in black standing up for the poor, the hungry and those who have served their time.

There's something unbelievably heavy about this concert. This could damn-well be the only kind of outside entertainment these guys have gotten in years, if not decades. He's singing songs about prison life for the majority of the album to prisoners. Hell, two of the songs, Send a Picture of Mother and Greystone Chapel, were literally written by people in Folsom, and they're by far the best songs of the whole performance. This whole record feels like one of the weirdest acts of kindness I've seen in music, but I can't not get behind it. It's not like there were any other artists in the 1960s playing in prisons. In that way, it's kind of bittersweet. He brought in so many other artists and bands for both performances and everyone plays their hearts out like it's any other concert. More than anything, Johnny Cash himself is laughing his ass off like it's any other concert. I love his little quips between every song, like the "I can't say hell or shit" thing a few songs in. This is all to say that this is a lot more than a great live album, it's a reminder that people in prisons and jails are people, and that everyone deserves a damn good show every once in a while.

I love Jonny cash. Such a good classic

Never been into this genre but it kinda swoops me in and doesn't let go. 'Dark as a dungeon' and 'I still miss someone' are uggh so goooood

Great album, fun listen.

The greatest live album of all time

Really enjoyed this, did not know it was actually done at a prison? That's so cool, doesn't feel like something you could do today. Anyways enjoyed it a lot.

feel a strong cowboy music vibe. But unfortunately, I not enjoy with it.

I've never listened to this album, nor any by Johnny Cash. I am aware of him through his hit songs from early in his career, as well as a TV show in the 70's and his American recordings later in his life. I've always respected his music more than liked his music. I was interested in listening to this today as it was a chance to find out more about him and one of his most famous albums. What I can definitely say is that it is an amazing artifact of its time. Hearing prisoners cheer for murder of people (and animals) is not something I imagine we'd get today. Hearing the lead performer laughing about much of it also isn't something I'd imagine we'd get today. And yet, I found myself laughing along at the craziness of it. And I also found myself being fascinated by the humanity of doing a performance at a prison and giving voice to inmates. I didn't love the album, but I do get the appeal to many and completely respect why it's on the list. And there were some songs I thought were either very good or at least fascinatingly interesting.

OMG DET ER SÅ SAKTE, DREP MEG NÅ. Han snakker så mye i sangene hans, det er litt koselig. Men jeg har aldri kjedet meg mer. Det ente opp med å være veldig koselig å høre på

“haha I just said the f word and I’m not allowed to” shut up man, outlaw my ass, give me a country artist who’s actually killed someone

Finally getting to hear this was a treat. I knew "Folsom Prison Blues" beforehand but everything else was new. Between this and Sweetheart of the Rodeo, I think 1968 was a peak year for country. This is brilliant.

Just like the San Quentin record I had a while back, this is another amazing record. I'm sitting here crying to "The Green, Green Grass of Home"; I'd never really paid attention to the lyrics before. I can only imagine how it felt to hear these songs to those guys in that prison. I love his amusing attitude about this being recorded by a record company that won’t let him cuss on the record, his sympathy for the folks in the audience, and how simple these songs are, either just him and the guitar or the accompaniment of June Carter and the band. I’m not really into country music at all, but these Johnny Cash prison records are a strong exception.

A classic, though I prefer San Quentin. 4 stars

I do think this is the better of Johnny Cash's prison albums. Some really good stuff here, notably "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Cocaine Blues". 4 stars.

We already had one Johnny Cash prison album…change the channel, Marge! I guess this has some classic bits of stage banter (“I just want to tell you this is being recorded for Columbia Records so you can’t say hell or fuck or shit or piss or tits or cocksucker or cunt or motherfucker or anything like that”). The tracklist isn’t particularly great though - no Ring Of Fire or I Walk The Line - so it does become a chore by the halfway stage. Wish an incarcerated Blues Brothers could just join the stage and liven things up with some Jailhouse Rock or Everybody Needs Somebody or something.

He sings about cocaine kind of a lot, huh I think I do like Johnny Cash. I didn't think I did for a while.

What an amazing record for so many reasons. First… Johnny Cash. The voice. What a legend. Second, this makes you feel like you are at the prison for the show. Just the whole mood, and his comments, and the warden interrupting on the intercom. Amazing how it takes you there. And song choices and how the prisoners respond. Just a genius recording. Not to mention how great the songs are. A special record.

A bit samey at times but I can see how influential it must have been

Some great songs but the banter between them really makes this album special.

I think the San Quentin album has better songs, but this is still a fantastic live album. Love the banter and the interruptions for announcements, buzzers in the background, crowd noises, etc.

I am not a country fan, but I am most certainly a Johnny Cash fan! Absolutely love him. This was so fun and I loved hearing his commentary in here since it’s live. What a guy and musician!!

One of the all time great country albums. For me it drags a bit in the second half, but still just manages to be a 5 star record

This is probably my favorite country album now, not that i've listened to much country; in fact this is probably the first full country album ive ever listened to. That being said this is still a great album, the concept of a live performance in front of death row inmates is very intriguing to boot. Cash is able to handle this very well tho and seems in many ways to connect with the inmates on an emotional level, i dunno if thats because hes had similar experiences but hell he might as well do the way he sings. Thats another point, the only singer with better-what you might call- vocal intellegence for me would be George Micheal. Of course its a country album of its time tho and is rather stripped back i guess you would say, not much going on instrumentally that is. Still, a very worthwhile listen.

Väldigt edgy för sin tid. Kul att Carl Perkins är i bandet. Roliga 4th wall breaks. Får mig att uppskatta Johnny Cash mycket mer. "Did i hear somebody applaud" i the Long black veil. Bandet håller sig tight även när Cash snackar med publiken. Väldigt roligt att snacket mellan låtarna hållits med, få live album gör det. Tycker poängen med live album bör vara att det ska kännas live så som ett live album är detta kanske det bästa jag hört. Problemet är bara att jag fortfarande inte är ett gigantiskt country fan. Misslyckandena känns charmiga.

It's fine, but not something I'd listen to more often. Didn't know about the voice cracks.

Audience and context makes this incredible. Music pretty golden too but not for everyone

Cash siempre bien. Muy country.

quite insane actually

In the beginning, I wasn't feeling like it was my cup of tea, but as I continued listening to the album, I realised some of these songs are quite touching.

Just amazing! Especially "Send a Picture of Mother" and "The Wall" and all his interactions with prisoners and them cheering.

Hyvä aloitus

Just not a Jonny Cash fan...

Shout out Big Lebowski

The attitude and feeling of this is special. Hearing him announce the guards and updates and quiet the crowd shows how much he was able to feather the line of where he sat. Great performer and there couldn't be a better venue to showcase him.

A great collection of songs. Hits the ground running. As I said on the last prison one we listened to, top tier charisma. Really good for a live album. A voice that you just want to imitate. This really is an iconic album.

Overall, decent.

Great album, felt communal. I love how you would hear Cash break and start laughing based on whatever the crowd said. It felt real plus I love the story behind how and why he did the album.

The energy on this album is palpable. Cash is one with the audience here, one of their own singing back the stories of their lives. The end moments of recorded room noise after the music stops are incredible.

What a bittersweet record! Made me laugh a lot, but also got me on the verge of tears and the whole context of it is just surreal. Gonna be thinking about this one for a while.

Me encanta un puto crack

ne. also… na, gfallt ma einf nit so wirklich. vllt bin i zu müde. aber es is so bissi country? und dass es live is machts nit besser. die ruhigen lieder gfallen ma besser (zb the long black veil), aber ganz viele lieder klingen sehr gleich. bin auch grad einf mad auf men weil wtf. es is ehrlich nit wirklich so besonders. trotzdem. 3/5

Imagine, if you will, that a major musician decides to play a concert at your place of work, in some area of the world where concert tours don't exactly come by. Imagine, further, that they get on stage, introduce themselves, and immediately launch into a song about how the place you work for is absolutely miserable. I imagine that must be how the crowd at Folsom prison felt here. I don't believe there are all that many truly iconic live albums. Most live shows are fun in the moment, an experience, but lightning in a a bottle… it never really translates even when it's great. The difference here? First off, the recording sounds solid. You get a bit of that live reverberating, but it also still sounds good. But I think there's also the fact that this is tailored to the crowd. Lots of songs about hard luck, crime and punishment, general outlawing. Cash also feels at home. He's making jokes here and there, connecting with the inmates, snarking shit at the prison industrial complex. The atmosphere is a part of the album. There is a ceiling on even classic western for me, but Cash can command a light 4*, even having been fed him twice this month.

A classic....dont like country but do like Cash!

I fucking love this album. have it on vinyl!

The other contender for ‘best live at a prison’ show. I’ll probably listen to this again today. The legacy version exists so throw that one on.

changed my opinion of live albums indefinitely

I love this album. I love its rough edges but also Johnny’s innate vulnerability. June’s entry half way through adds energy and joy. What a great duo! Folsom Prison makes me proud to be an American, in spite of our high incarceration rates that made this album possible. Yay, America!

It is so refreshing to hear someone sing without being auto tuned or over produced. What I appreciate about this album is that Johnny Cash has a deep connection with his audience. When Cash calls one of the guards “sweetie”, the crowd goes wild.

At Folsom Prison is a phenomenal live album. You can practically feel the sweat pouring off of Johnny Cash; you can see it on the album cover, and you can absolutely feel it in his performance. He is giving everything he has to this one concert. The crowd is eating it up—these are his people, and he knows it. The prison setting makes it all the more special, elevating it to the absolute Mount Rushmore of live albums, right up there with James Brown's Live at the Apollo, Cheap Trick's At Budokan, and David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture (the famous Hammersmith Odeon show where he finally killed off the Ziggy persona). Every song is great, perfectly blending comedy, gospel, and dark tales. Naturally, the set features 'Folsom Prison Blues,' which boasts one of the toughest lyrics ever put to paper: 'I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.' You can have all the hip-hop braggadocio you want about guns and gangs; that one single line makes Johnny Cash sound tougher and meaner than all the rest combined—yet completely full of regret, which is exactly why he's singing it in Folsom Prison. It's just a brilliant album. Even if you don't typically like country music, every single person needs to listen to this record.

\m/__0^0__\m/ . . . Just too much rock for one hand.

Great record! What an amazing document, the crowd noises and the way Johnny communicates with them is a special thing to hear. Dropped a couple of stars cos, for me, his songs have a very same same quality to them that I don't find too engaging. Still an amazing record tho

Ça devait être être sympa … au siècle dernier

Great, most probably the best live album ever

Up there as one of the best live albums. It does live up to its reputation and solidifies Johnny as a great showman. 8/10 [KEEP]

I WAS DRESSS IN BLACK

wow

Absolutely iconic album

I’m admittedly biased. Grew up with Johnny Cash. “25 Minutes to Go” is a mighty fun to sing along to about to hang sing. My quibble is that there’s sometimes too much talking left in. The singing about ending up in prison to prisoners is an added Cash touch though.

Ehkä sitä matkan varrella oppii kuuntelemaan ja analysoimaan biisejä muustakin kun sellaisesta näkökulmasta että onko omasta mielestä hyvä vai ei. MuTu sanoo että 3/5 ihan vain koska en tykkää tälläsestä folkish/country musiikista kovinkaan paljoa mutta sisäinen kriitikko joka yrittää miettiä muutakin kuin että tykkäänkö itse kappaleista haluaa sanoa 4/5 Albumin paras biisi: Folsom prison blues - joojoo vittu suosituin biisi mutta en ole vielä tarpeeksi hyvä kriitikko että voisin valita jotain muuta Pohdinnan jälkeen kompromissi - 4/5

I'm not a country fan, but Johnny Cash is in a league of his own. He had a knack for telling great (and many times, funny) stories through song. His voice is charismatic and smooth and the melodies flow effortlessly. This album was especially good because of the live atmosphere (in a prison, no less). I've always liked live recordings because you can immerse yourself into an experience that's authentic and real, not manufactured.

a classic C&W record from one of the legends in country music.

Vi befinder os et sted mellem 3 og 4. Sidst jeg gjorde det gik vi på 3 - så denne gang må det blive 4.

*71 Det er ikke min favorit version af country, men det overraskede mig faktisk positivt. Det er en meget lille dirty old egg-sucking 4'er .

Ikke min smag, men meget hyggeligt

Det er jo fantastisk behageligt at lytte til. Langt fra mit yndlingsmusik, -genre eller -kunstner, men det tager ikke noget fra hverken koncerten, konceptet eller betydningen. Jeg kan godt lide det, og jeg må blive blød med alderen, for vi er lidt halvlangt oppe på skalaen her: 3.9

The live aspect of this is great.

Anyone else who refers to themselves as “outlaw country” is a big fat effin liar.

Unbelievably real and surprisingly funny. The sound of the room is as much an instrument as Johnny's guitar. Infectiously chugging and writing that's clear as day.

Ah, Johnny. For someone who finds a lot of country very boring and saccharine, this is much better - biting, funny, and definitely on the side of the convicts. I love that its a PROPER live album, with interruptions and mistakes, and you get a feel for Cash's cheekiness alongside drug and murder ballads. Deserves its place here without a doubt. A strong 4.

An all timer. Love the live aspect of this from the prison.

JC has a fantastic voice and this is an excellent live show. That being said I don't love a lot of the songs themselves, and found the recurring themes of incarceration and capital punishment a little relentless and overbearing by the end of the record

Not a country fan, but you can’t knock this one. Enjoyed it from start to finish

Why did I only get round to listening to this in full today? Just brilliant.

This is a bloody classic isn't it. Now here really is an album to listen to before you die! A cultural moment, recorded for us on tape. I've never really understood the appeal of live albums because I always felt either you're there and it's great, or you can listen on record and that's better than a slightly crunchy version with cheering in the background. Not the case for this, a historic document even!

It's just great init. Johnny Cash is just really really cool, and the idea of recording a classic to a crowd of prisoners is amazing, hearing them cheer about murders in the songs lol. It's just such a crazy and complicated vibe, probably problematic if you wanted to delve deep, but it's just so cool that I don't wanna ruin the outlaw vibez. PS It's hilarious to me that on an album where he's singing about shooting people to a crowd of prisoners, some of whom shot people, they still bleep out the swear words.

2.5 - Meh

I enjoyed his other prison album on here more. Not sure if it’s just because I heard that one first so the prison gimmick was newer or if I actually liked his performance better. Either way still a fun time visiting a 1960s prison. Rating: 3.4

Awesome

Merle Haggard was in the audience! His band are equally spectacular I think. That kind of minimalist playing that came out of Sun Records is difficult to do well – it's almost like a Zen practice, you have to train yourself. Anyway, I am extremely grateful I got to see Johnny's last tour. One of the great greats greatest greatnesses. Lol

It's hard to deny the talent of the man in black.

It's unique, a piece of history, and Cash is on form.

Everything about this is genius

Para ser un álbum de country, lo disfruté bastante. No lo tenía tan buena onda al Johnny, un carisma total. Loco divino. Se lo lleva bien al album 5/10, para algo de country, es un montón en mi vara

Not for me, not so much the country aspect, but the story telling and campfire guitar. As for the music itself, definitelly good background noise. calming and nostalgic.

Na un perno total

I’ve heard this before. There are some great performances here of classic songs. I thought Boy Named Sue was on this but that was from live at San Quentin. He works the crowd really well and the performance is extremely strong, the only downside is they bleep out cuss words which gets distracting, since there’s cussing in all the between song breaks. Also the lack of boy names sue.

One of my childhood favorite albums. Still a huge fan.

me gustaría ser un vaquero.......

Pretty good album, Johnny’s voice was truly singular.

bastante divertido john el monedas

Duro de pelotas

No overdubbs, justo a guy and his banda. Great

This is a real borderline 4/5 for me. It's a classic, it's charming, it has a couple really great standout tracks, but overall I don't think it quite kicks over into that top tier. I'm very happy to finally have a reason to sit down and listen to this in its entirety and I will definitely come back to it later. Edit: I listened again and I tilted the wrong way, it's a 5.

I still kinda think the live albums are cheating but I also keep giving them fives. I'm part of the problem. This is pretty much perfect though

Bien.

Great live album. I don’t usually listen to the genre, nor Johnny Cash, but I really enjoyed what I heard. I liked the authentic feel from him talking to the audience, etc.

This album has a lovely feel, the live recording really does lend it something. Sections where he talks to the audience are so wonderful I like the gallows humour of songs like "25 Minutes to Go". The audience clearly does too. Far from what I'd usually listen to, but I enjoyed it greatly

Enjoyed alot more than I thought I would. Never got bored and enjoyed listening to every song. Johnny Cash has a certain charm that is hard to not like. While the music is simple it has an effect. Imagine that shitty Bob Dylan album and u make it more country and good. Not my kinda think enough to get a 5 but still very good.

I love how authentic this is. The rapport between Cash and the inmates is fun and I think he does a good job making this live recording fun (I don't usually like those). Crazy he did a bunch of prison shows, I didnt know that. Also the songs are really good I like it

BRUHHHHHHHHHHHsendmetoprison favorite song: jackson<3

It bears repeating… God Bless Johnny Cash!

L'histoire de l'album est belle, et c'est un album live donc c'est franchement bon. Ce n'est pas mon style de musique par contre (country)

Great, perfect live album

Don’t we all have a little outlaws in us?! Fantastic!

One of the best live albums of all time, I particularly like during the slower songs that he’s been told to do by the label, he just seems to take the piss lol. The energy of this album feels massive. 5.0/5.0 Best Song: Jackson

One of the best live albums around, he's having so much fun. I think the crowd makes it, they aren't yelling like a standard crowd, they sound like a raucous group of prisoners.

oh this is the song on baby mouth dreams lol. funny when he flubs during a song. extremely relaxing baritone. cocaine blues is just funny as fuck tbh reading how this was performed at a prison makes me appreciate it a lot more the long black veil is a dax song. sorry this guy is funny as fuck tbh highlights: flushed from the bathroom of your heart. give my love to rose. & the banter after the long black veil. & not to be pretentious but the speeches at the very end of the album too

pretty cool, quite same same and dated but still solid. Liked the last song would study to

Very good live album. Lots of character and heart went into this. I love all the little candid moments Johnny has with his audience.

Un artista con impronta y actitud de sello registrado, entiendo que es un disco valioso, pero me pareció monótono, o termine de disfrutarlo.

I don’t generally like live albums, and I realise now because they aren’t like this. This feels real, the fluffed lines the laughter during songs, and the obviously off the cuff remarks. There’s also a real sense of reality from playing songs about murder to a room full of murderers, but as does playing the more sentimental songs. That’s country for you- murder, divorce and Jesus

I'm not a live album guy but I really enjoyed this. Performing for a prison you wrote a song about is kinda a baller move. It's cool to just hear Johnny Cash riff and be a normal human being while also being really damn talented. It goes a little off the rails at the end, and there's a song about killing a dog which wasn't my favorite. But I could see myself listening to this album again, with a few skips.

very fun as like a live concept album. it turns out there's nothing more bluesy than rotting away in prison, and every little live callout or interstitial that reminds you of that is pretty delightful. also just some jolly straight-shooting blues. favorite song is 25 Minutes To Go. very soft 4

Rating: 9/10 A legendary live album from its prison setting to Cash's performance. The outlaw country vibe works so perfectly in this context and the storytelling in his songs is amazing. I love the run of the first five tracks and last five tracks, with a little lull in the middle, special shout-out to Cocaine Blues and 25 Minutes To Go. Just one weaker track if anything (Egg Sucking Dog). 5 stars

Get this man a glass of water. The songs were fine, but the live aspect does add to the album and overall it's really cool. Cash is a cool dude and the songs had a nice theme and cohesiveness and I think everything fit really well together. Enjoyed listening to this album 6.6/10

I can appreciate how others can view this as one of the greatest albums of all time. I get it. And Johnny Cash is a legend. But I'm scoring on how I personally like the music and while Folsom Prison is a classic song, the album as a whole is not my jam.

Hard to measure up a live album against studio - but this is such a culturally significant moment that I appreciate it's inclusion in the list. I haven't listened to Johnny Cash live anywhere else, but what is so striking about this concert is how informal it is, how involved Cash is with the audience, and damn the guy is pretty charming and funny, it's great. 7.5 / 10 Some lyrics that got the biggest cheers: "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" "I thought I was her daddy but she had 5 more" "I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart" "I got stripes around my shoulders, I got chains about to drag me down" "A house of worship in this den of sin"

A true classic. Cash singing songs about love and crimes and paying for your crimes, all in the incredible setting of Folsom Prison. The cheers of the audience of prisoners at inappropriate times are wild! Liked Songs Added: Folsom Prison Blues Cocaine Blues Jackson

what a fantastic live album. amazing voice, great songs, incredible & unique atmosphere from the crowd. i did not expect to like this as much as i did

It's listenable, but I don't really love it. Not my style.

Eh, I preferred his album from Live from San Quinton...

My rating 3.8.

Never completely going to be my type of thing but there’s a lot to appreciate here. RYM: Y (#369) Saved a song: N

alcune belle canzoni narrative, ma complessivamente l'ho trovato un po lento, apprezzo jhonny cash

Não faz meu estilo, mas foi bacana.

Comically old fashioned

Great album in particular the opening track.

One of the best live albums ever recorded. Being able to hear the interplay between Cash and the prison audience is half the appeal!

하 난 잘 모르겟음

Try this now but with like ASAP Rocky

I have never listened a lot of Johnny Cash's music so I wasn't sure what to expect. This album is just incredible and I really enjoyed listening to it. This album is a great example of the "Law of the Live Album". Live albums that should be 2 hours long, like this one, are always about 45 minutes, and live albums that should be 45 minutes long are always about 2 hours. Hmm... Amazing album by an amazing artist.

No es el tipo de música que escucho pero está muy bueno, siento que estoy viendo una película de cowboys

I was rather closed off to country but this was a very groovy and fun track. I think I’d consider myself a fan of Johnny Cash now!

Good for just chilin and listenin while doing sth else i guess.

One of my favorite live albums. Johnny Cash strangely in his element. I love everything about this, even the occasional announcements for receptions.

Best live album of all time.

Johnny Cash is the epitome of effortless cool.

I got this and was like “mehhh another live album!?” But I actually loved it and listened to it over again.

This is how a live album should sound. Intimate crowd interactions and reactions. Johnnys music is just so great and his voice is just as good.

Hyvä levy. 3,75/5.

One of the best albums on this list so far. 5 stars

I couldn't love this album more. The heart and warmth of the songs and the crowd are infectious. I want to be in that room to experience it. The crowd were loving every minute of it and it really added to the experience. What a legend. We are better because Johnny was here.

yeehaw

Przesłuchałem wcześniej. 8/10 Ulubiona piosenka: Folsom Prison Blues

5/10

Such a classic album. Love it

Country isn’t my thing but Cash, and this album, are both great.

Such a great live performance. His voice is incredible and I'll never get tired of hearing it. I also really appreciate that Johnny Cash made his music accessible to people in prison, and didn't view them as less than human.

No. 167 Amazing that it was performed live and the flaws and asides and prison chatter add to the overall vibe, rather than detract.
