Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison by Subversive Historian Gabriel San Roman<\/strong><\/p>\nForty-one years ago on this day in people\u2019s music history, Johnny Cash performed his famed concert at Folsom State Prison in California. On January 13th, 1968, the iconoclastic singer changed music history when he recorded two live sets before a crowd of the incarcerated. Cash\u2019s label, Columbia Records, had been opposed to his idea of releasing a live album from the prison for years when a change in personnel finally cleared the way. Backed by June Carter and the Tennessee Three, Cash opened his performance with his song \u201cFolsom Prison Blues.\u201d He completed the set by mixing in numerous songs about life in prison establishing the singer\u2019s rapport with society\u2019s banished. The record, \u201cAt Folsom Prison,\u201d was released five months after becoming one of the most important albums of all time. <\/p>\n
Cash\u2019s performance was surely not one to be missed, although I\u2019m not sure I would have wanted a front row seat!<\/p>\n
