Piece Description
IN 1968, JOHNNY CASH ENTERED CALIFORNIA’S NOTORIOUS FOLSOM PRISON TO PLAY A CONCERT. IT WASN’T HIS FIRST SHOW THERE, OR HIS LAST. BUT THIS TIME, HE CAPTURED ON TAPE THE RAW ENERGY OF THE PRISONERS AND CAMRADERIE HE FELT WITH THEM. CASH KNEW THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN PRISONS LIKE FOLSOM THAT NEEDED TO BE TREATED LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. IN TIME, HE BECAME A POWERFUL VOICE FOR PRISON REFORM.
WE’LL HEAR HIGHLIGHTS FROM CASH’S FOLSOM CONCERT AND TALK TO PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE TO SEE IT – FOLSOM PRISON GUARDS AND INMATES, JOURNALISTS WHO COVERED THE EVENT, CASH BIOGRAPHER MICHAEL STREISGUTH AND SPECIAL GUEST, MERLE HAGGARD.
Check out all of Joyride Media's Johnny Cash specials hosted by Rodney Crowell.

Cocaine Blues No More!Fantastic piece. I've got this album on 12'' LP, and it's always been one of my favorites. The interviews, the extra pieces of audio, and the commentary really made the album come alive for me. I'm obviously too young to have grown up with the album, so it was great to hear so much back story. It really made it relevant for me: a person who didn't have the chance to live in that culture and time. Now, for me, the album is more than music. Now, it's a story. |

Superb Story Telling with Music
A veritable best of both worlds here with "Johnny Cash: At Folsom Prison". You've got the story-telling music of Johnny Cash and the story of one of the most royal of all concerts -- the incredible show Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three put on at Folsom Prison in 1968.
The music and performances are a gritty given. What stands out is how Joyride Media puts you in a seat right next to an inmate in the Folsom Prison cafeteria. You'll hear from prisoners, prison guards and reporters who all capture the color and the concert.
Incredibly entertaining and compelling radio, capturing the wonder, hope and crude and cruel merriment of a historic musical and sociological event. And Johnny Cash.
For those who hate surprises: language advisory at 13:25 in Part 1; 4:32 in Part 2. The program contains songs with drug references as well.
