Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Show Notes

Hi Folks!  For this months full episode we listen to Johnny Cash's 1968 album "At Folsom Prison".  The first in a series of live albums from Cash all recorded in prisons.  "At Folsom Prison" came at a pivotal time in Cash's career as the singer/song writer was trying to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success. With June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three backing Cash "At Folsom Prison" became a huge success for both Cash and Columbia Records.  This album features the staple versions of songs such as "Folsom Prison Blues", "Cocaine Blues" and "Jackson". While also featuring country standards like "The Wall" and "Green Green Grass of Home".  "At Folsom Prison" shows a different side of Johnny Cash and is not to be missed by fans of Cash's more mainstream work.  Thanks for listening!
