DESCRIPTION
A superb Aussie pressing of this classic and not easy to find Johnny Cash LP… in fact one of his best ever albums according to the reviews below.Recorded ‘live’ in front of a prison audience in the late '60s he selects a set of songs that are all about prison, crime, murder, regret, loss, mother, God, and loneliness. Cash tunes into the audience's emotions, which in turn stimulates his own performance ….especially since he delivers the songs with the conviction of someone who has lived through it.
A gem of a pick-up for fans that is sure to please.
Personnel :
Johnny Cash (vocals, guitar); June Carter, The Carter Family, The Staler Brothers (vocals); Luther Perkins, Carl Perkins (electric guitar); Marshall Grant (bass guitar); W. S. "Fluke" Holland (drums).
REVIEW
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--Cash recorded an album live in front of a (literally) captive and but wildly appreciative audience inside Folsom Prison. 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. That boom-chicka-boom sound is as sharp as the first mean wind of winter, and Cash is in fine fettle (though his voice cracks from time to time). With its unique setting, this is as harrowing an album as any ever recorded.MORE NOTES :
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....Any more real and full body armor would have had to be supplied. Q (04/01/2000)
...an impressive performance document that gives a fuller sense of Cash's stage persona and his relationship with the audience....The song order has been corrected to the original performance....[with] 3 previously unreleased songs... Dirty Linen (02/01/2000)
...finally receiving a proper...reissue....Restored is Cash's salty stage-banter in all of its uncensored glory, alongside every one of the crowd's raucous, foot-stomping, hollering responses....repeatedly delivers the kind of goosebumps that few records can. CMJ (11/01/1999)
4 stars out of 5 - ...It's an effortless and powerful performance....Touching... Uncut (03/01/2000)
...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... Entertainment Weekly (09/26/2003)
Ranked #88 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - ...Essential Cash....The 2,000 inmates roar their approval... Rolling Stone (12/11/2003)
