Album Notes 2 LPs on 1 CD: AT FOLSOM PRISON (1968)/AT SAN QUENTIN (1969).Combined here on one disc are both of Cash's famous live "prison albums" of the '60s. Cash has always been a champion of the underdog, as well as cultivating a bit of a badass image (a veneer not harmed by some well-publicized troubles with the law), so these live performances for the prisoners of the Folsom and San Quentin penitentiaries seem more like a preacher delivering a sermon to a faithful parish than a do-gooder slumming in the prison system.Each concert includes a song tailor-made for the event. "San Quentin" is sung from the point of view of a long-time inmate who bears the psychic scars of incarceration. "Folsom Prison Blues," one of Cash's signature songs, is Cash's most cold-eyed examination of the sociopathic criminal mind, containing the famous line "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." Tunes like these naturally endear Cash to his captive audience, but the prisoners are equally enthused by the humorous, Shel Silverstein-penned "A Boy Named Sue," the sad, romantic "I Still Miss Someone" and the uproarious, Best Country Song Title of All Time-award winner "Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart."

Reviews  Johnny CashReview created: 15/03/07 by:  A brilliant collection of johnny cash's best and other great hits sung by the star. This was the only album where I could find Cocaine Blues without any word changes or edits. It is one of my best buys and couldn't fault it! Review ID: 10000000003204273 Was this review helpful? Report this review SuperbReview created: 03/03/07 by: 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. These 2 newly mastered CDs of classic 60s alums add new life to the originally released CDs. The irritating 'bleep' has been removed from a A Boy Nnamed Sue and you hear the song as it was sung. You hear more of Johnny Cash's interaction with his captive audience and you hear previously unreleased tracks. I thought the originals were great but this 2 CD set has bettered them. Concerts and albums full of raw energy and power. If you watched 'Walk The LIne' and enjoyed the prison concert scenes....buy this and hear it as it really was. Superb. Highly recommnended.
