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. His idea was put on hold until 1967, when personnel changes at Columbia Records put Bob Johnston in charge of producing Cash's material. Cash had recently controlled his drug abuse problems, and was looking to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success.

"Everybody likes a captive audience Johnny Cash and band stride into California’s second oldest prison, unleash their gut-wrenching country- and blues-tinged rock and stride back out. 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”"
