I SHOT A MAN IN RENO,
JUST TO WATCH HIM DIE
WHEN I HEAR THAT
WHISTLE BLOWIN'
I HANG MY HEAD
AND CRY
had been breaking
new ground for
a decade
when
At Folsom Prison
suddenly made the
world at large take notice.
The interaction of a
volatile prison population
starved for entertainment
and a desperately
on-form
Johnny Cash
was electrifying.
His somber machismo
finally found a home.
The songs,
which included every
prison song Cash knew
with I Got Stripes,
The Wall,
25 Minutes to Go,
Cocaine Blues,
plus his own
Folsom Prison Blues
were tailored to
galvanize the crowd.
This set is
all about atmosphere.
Live at the
Grand Ole Opry
this ain't.
The 1999 version
drops the San Quentin portion
of the original CD reissue,
instead
adding three cuts
to complete
the full and
uncensored
Folsom show.
