"Johnny Cash's monumental At Folsom Prison remains a touchstone for country artists in and out of the mainstream, and a landmark in Cash's career, coming at the moment when he was ascending to the Mount Olympus of beloved American artists. As a statement of purpose, At Folsom Prison explores all the styles Cash has made his own and championed as the years have passed -- it's as honest an album as any artist has ever recorded. Bonus tracks include "Busted," "Joe Bean," and the tall tale Cash owns, "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer." Cash's original, Grammy-winning liner notes are reproduced, and he's added an intimate, personal reflection on this project to boot; for good measure, Steve Earle puts in his evocative two cents' worth in the liner copy as well."
"Die Cash-Filmbiografie <<Walk The Line>> wählte seinen Auftritt im kalifornischen Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Januar 1968 als dramatischen Schlusspunkt. -- Im wirklichen Leben markierte der legendäre Moment den Beginn von Cashs erfolgreichstem Karriereabschnitt. Nach 12 Jahren und unzähligen Hits, aber auch ausufernden Drogenproblemen war er bereit für den nächsten Popularitätsschub. -- Seinen Pillenmissbrauch hatte er dank June Carter im Griff. Und sein bereits lange gehegter Wunsch nach einem Gefängnisalbum fand in der politisch und sozial aufgewühlten Zeit Ende der 60er Jahre plötzlich Gehör bei seiner Plattenfirma. -- Mit <<At Folsom Prison>> positionierte sich Cash erfolgreich als verständnisvoller Anwalt aller Benachteiligter und Rechtloser Amerikas und verschaffte sich als erster Country-Star Gehör und Glaubhaftigkeit weit über die Country-Welt hinaus. -- Eine unverwechselbar markante Stimme, ein Mann in Schwarz, der mit einfachen Worten aber oft gegen den Strich über Liebe, Mord und Gott singt und das Ganze mit einem Anflug von Gefährlichkeit in eine saftige Show verpackt: Dies ist der Stoff aus dem Legenden gemacht werden - mit garantierter Wirkung bis ins nächste Jahrtausend.
