Description:
At Folsom Prison is a live album by Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in May 1968. Since his 1955 song "Folsom Prison Blues", Cash had been interested in performing at a prison.

100 Greatest American Albums of All Time (100 music items)

Legend has it that there’s gold beneath Folsom. For Cash, there was gold inside: At Folsom Prison charted for two years. Standout tracks: “Jackson,” “Folsom Prison Blues”"

"Playing mean in front of men who probably did shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die is no mean feat, but the rhino-hided troubadour somehow manages it. Just imagine the tear rolling from a lifer’s eye when Cash plays “Green, Green Grass of Home.” Standout track: “Cocaine Blues”"
