On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash took the stage at Folsom Prison in Folsom, California. The concert and the live album, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, propelled him to worldwide superstardom with definitive versions of "I Still Miss Someone," "The Long Black Veil," and, of course, "Folsom Prison Blues." He reached new audiences, ignited tremendous growth in the country music industry, and connected with fans in a way no other artist has before or since.Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison is a riveting account of that day, what led to it, and what came after, for Johnny Cash and for America.

Scrupulously researched, rich with the author's unprecedented access to Folsom Prison and Columbia Records' archives, illustrated with 100 photos (many never before published),Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison shows how Johnny Cash forever became a champion of the downtrodden, as well as one of the more enduring forces of American music.… (mere)

In 1968 it had been ten years since Cash had such huge success with "Ring of Fire" and "I Walk the Line". He was now a performer with a drug habit and the reputation for often no-showing at appearances, or playing when he was too high to remember the lyrics. His band had become his babysitters.
His appearance for two shows at Folsom was a big deal for the prison and inmates, but not much for Cash's label, Columbia Records. They barely participated, never thinking they'd end up with anything marketable, especially with an audience of inmates who might misbehave. Cash and his band, which included June Carter and guitarist Carl Perkins, did two shows on January 13, 1968. Included in their set was a song written by a Folsom inmate, and when the album became so big and was a career changer for Cash, it also changed the inmates life, securing him an early release from prison and a job with Cash's company, though the man ultimately couldn't adapt.
The author takes the reader in unexpected directions. You probably wouldn't expect a book about the recording of a famous album, even one recorded in a prison, to spend time explaining how prison prostitution works, or how race gangs pick their victims, but that information is here. There's a discussion of the record company's lack of interest in the recording until it became a hit, and of Cash's admiration and friendship with Bob Dylan, which may have played a part in the record's success. There are plenty of photos of the day and performance included. ( )

A nice counterbalance to the bio-movie on Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix. It gets a bit repetitious at times due to the reference nature of the book, aimed at a research niche. Good pictures. Unfortunately, it was not a bio of Cash, but of the album, so left me wanting to know more! Indexed.
