ÍøÆغÚÁÏ.co.uk
Johnny Cash 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 sombre machismo finally found a home. The songs, which included every prison song Cash knew ("I Got Stripes", "The Wall", "25 Minutes to Go", "Cocaine Blues", plus his own "Folsom Prison Blues") were tailored to galvanise the crowd. This set is all about atmosphere. Live at the Grand Ole Opry this is not. 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. --Colin Escott

Cash At His Most Awesome

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2024Johnny cash what more can I say perfection
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2006The atmosphere of this live concert from Folsom Prison is electric. The inmate crowd are full of life, energy and buzz.
Generally, it is annoying when songs get interrupted, but here, where nearly every otehr song has an interruption of some sort, they are welcome. Cash's interaction with the crowd, his responses to their shouts mid-song, and humourous remarks are really what make this album great.
There are even interruptions from the prison tannoy system, barking out prisoner numbers and telling them to go to reception. This gives it a stark reality.
Fortunately, you also get some of the best Johnny Cash songs as well! It would obviously start with Folsom Prison Blues, but others like 25 minutes to go, cocaine blues, and Orange Blossom Special are incredibly good. Recorded in a prison seem to give Cash's songs more meaning.
It's also great to have June Carter pop in for a couple of songs, including Jackson, and it's great to hear her voice when she arrives.
Greystone Chapel is the last song on this album, and this performance was the first time it had ever been sung by Cash for a recording...history in the making!
Not only is this the best Johnny Cash album ever, it is one of the best albums ever created. Fun, meaningful, sad, exciting, buzzing, this is what a live album is all about.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2013Whatever your age buy this!!!! Music at it's basic; guitar, drums and, sometimes, harmonica. What a sound though. My father, many, many years ago introduced me to JC but this album was the one I loved. Listen to the drumming in 'Orange Blossom Special'. Brilliant! This is what a 'live' album should be and their isn't any concert more live than in a prison, I think. The lyrics are very important in a 'song' - unlike a lot of the stuff today - LISTEN to them. Folsom Prison Blues, 25 Minutes to Go, Flushed from the bathroom of your heart, I got Stripes, and the brilliantly argumentative Jackson. Cash became popular again in the UK after his visit to Glastonbury. Deservedly!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2018To be perfectly honest I sent for this album with the intention of replacing a well worn 35 track, 2CD Album called Folsom Prison Blues so I was initially disappointed when I opened it to find only one CD called JC at Folsom Prison. Which only goes to show that I did not read the product description very carefully before ordering. However since I purchased this 20 track CD at the bargain price I was happy to keep it. The quality is good and personally I can't get enough of Cash.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2013I had not really heard much more of Johnny Cash than 'Ring of fire' but I bought this as it came up often on lists great albums. I'm not sure why it is so good, but it stands up to repeated listening very well and I'd never normally consider myself a fan of this type of music. There is a simplicity about the songs which is appealing - there is absolutely no fat on them.
Inspired by this album I also bought At San Quentin and this was a mistake. There is far too much of Johnny talking on it. Great for personalising the concert but very boring when heard for the fifth time.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2009This is probably Johnny Cash's most famous recording, an amazing performance made against the advice of his record company, after his comeback from near-suicide and his recovery from addiction (would he have made it without his faith and the love of June Carter and her family?). Raw, genuine, full of great songs, humour and grit, his voice getting back to its best, this live performance sums up everything that was heroic about Johnny Cash.
I discovered Johnny Cash, about 1964 when I was a young teenager, when I found his single "Ring of Fire", unbelievably, in a remaindered box of singles for sale at 1/6d each. I'd never heard of him, but the moment I heard the song, I had to know more. I saved up to buy his latest album, "Blood, Sweat and Tears", and have never looked back. I was a fan.
Of course, I've had the record "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" a long time. First the LP, later the CD. Delighted to find the Legacy edition, containing the full recordings of both concerts, on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ, it was a must-buy. With the previously unissued tracks from the first concert, and the whole of the repeat afternoon concert (which includes a classic performance of "Long-Legged Guitar Pickin' Man" with June Carter -- worth buying just for that), these recordings are a piece of history everyone who even just likes Johnny Cash should own.
The DVD contains a documentary, recently seen on TV, looking back at the concert and full of illuminating interviews. Sadly, no film of the concert was made (unlike its sister "At San Quentin", recorded for British TV), but there's lots on this DVD to savour.
However, I can't let this review pass without expressing a warning: despite the misleading image on the ÍøÆغÚÁÏ site, this is NOT the classic luxury Legacy box set, but a German re-packaging in a cheap card foldout. I'm sure the discs are the same, and that's what matters I guess, but it won't sit well beside my Legacy edition of the San Quentin concert. Shame about that, and for this reason I've only given it 4 stars. It really deserves at least 5.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2014Simply outstanding album from a true legend. You might have heard the hype about this live prison album but to hear Johnny Cash talk and be so relaxed with serious convicted criminals and to hear them be so in awe of him is a pleasure, and gives some insight into the power of music and it's power of redemption in a dark place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Cash album still one of his best
An excellent concert by Johnny Cash with a terrific song selection. At this point, he was still performing with the Tennessee Three, Carl Perkins, and June Carter, rather than the more rockified band of his later tours. These are great renditions of some of his best-known songs from the first third or so of his career that reflect many aspects of Cash's persona--the outlaw, the balladeer, and the devoted family man. Included here is Cash's definitive reading of Shel Silverstein's "25 Minutes to Go," though I've always wondered why some of the lyrics are missing.
For someone just getting into Johnny Cash, this is a great place to start. For longtime fans, this is a fine recording to revisit again and again.
