At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash

After listening to the live performance from San Quentin, this recording is slightly underwhelming, although it was an incredible performance. I don't really have a lot more to say about this one after reviewing At San Quentin but whatever. What I personally love about Johnny Cash's live albums is the audience reactions to the songs, which we didn't really hear throughout this one. This audience was very chill compared to the rowdy audience in San Quentin, which makes the album have a lot less character than his later ones. However, we have to give credit to the fact that this is the first live prison album that Cash made, which turned out to be the best money move of his career, causing his team to abuse the system to pump them out like it was nothing. So although I would not consider this to be the best one that he ever did, it was certainly the most influential.
