JOHNNY CASH - AT FOLSOM PRISON: LEGACY EDITION (CD + DVD-V)
Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison: Legacy Edition On 2 x CD + DVD-V Set
On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash walked into California’s Folsom State Prison and made popular music history. The choicest cuts from the two shows he recorded that day merged to become At Folsom Prison, a multi-million selling album produced by Bob Johnston that unveiled a startling portrait of American prison life and energized Cash’s career. The most popular album of Cash’s career to that point, it soared to the top of the charts and paved Cash’s way to international stardom.
Now available in this deluxe three-disc edition are each one of Cash’s thirty-six performances from both shows (sixteen of them unissued until now) and the unreleased performances of his road mates Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers, and June Carter. The definitive versions of Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Cocaine Blues,” “Dark As A Dungeon” and other classics crack from the album like shotgun fire, cementing his mythic man-in-black persona and underscoring his rowdy camaraderie with the imprisoned men. Cash also takes on songs new to him such as the country chestnut “I’m Just Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail,” and “Greystone Chapel,” written by Folsom inmate Glen Sherley.
This deluxe edition of At Folsom Prison also includes the DVD Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison, the first documentary film to consider Cash’s finest day. Produced by award-winning director Bestor Cram and Cash biographer Michael Streissguth, the documentary follows the country star through the gates of the dark prison to reveal a moment flush with ramifications. Featuring exclusive interviews with those who accompanied Cash at Folsom Prison, friends and family, and inmates who witnessed the show, the documentary examines Cash through the lens of January 13, 1968. New footage filmed inside Folsom Prison, dramatic photographs by Jim Marshall, and rare archival material featuring Cash illustrate the album and concert’s importance in a new and gripping way. In Folsom’s wake, Cash became an international ambassador of country music, prison reform spokesman, and counter-culture hero. Few albums had ever proved so influential. Forty years after its initial release, historians and critics continue to count At Folsom Prison among the classic albums of the 1960s.
