Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying: his somber machismo finally found a home. The songs, which included every prison song Cash knew ("I Got Stripes", "The Wall", "25 Minutes to Go", "Cocaine Blues", plus his own "Folsom Prison Blues"), were tailored to galvanise the crowd. This set is all about atmosphere. Live at the Grand Ole Opry this ain't. The current version has been coupled with its de facto sequel, recorded three years later at San Quentin and nearly Folsom's match. -- Colin Escott




Rating: - Cash at his best for not much cash
I ordered this set after seeing it advertised in an email from Amazon. I was not very familiar with Johnny Cash, with the exception of Boy named Sue and Ring of Fire. This double CD really has blown me away. Cash's voice is great but the entertainment comes as much from his banter with the prisoners as from the songs, many of which have jail themes. All in all a great showcase for a natural performer. The sound quality is also excellent demonstrating better stereo effects than many modern albums.

Rating: - 2 classic CDs better than the original releases!
I had both the Folsom Prison and the San Quentin live albums seperately and both were very good. I therefore hesitated about buying this package. However, I bought this and it is much better. Both CDs have been very well produced. The sound quality is excellent. The hugely irritating bleep on A Boy Named Sue has been removed. Both include never before released tracks and dialogue from Cash and a result the excitement and tension of both concerts can really be felt. The CDs almost make you feel that you ... Read More

Rating: - Fantastic Package
For starters you get two albums for the price of one. And not only that, you get TWO HISTORICAL records.

Live at Folsom and Live at St Quentin are two live albums like nothing I've listened to before.

Musically, the albums do not have much to get excited about; guitar, bass and drums with very basic country style rythms underpinning Cash's voice.

Having said that, you don't buy this stuff for the music, you buy it for the stories, for each song is more than just ... Read More

Rating: - Two absolutely classic live albums for the price of one
The recent film Walk The Line tells the story. After years of pill popping and declining sales, a newly clean Johnny Cash plans his comeback. Rather than making a new record with contemporary late 60s influences as his record company wish, Johnny resolutely decides to record a live album at the notorious Folsom Prison with his classic sound. As usual, the artist is right and, aided by Cash's deep resonance with the plight of the inmates, Folsom Prison is a massive, career reviving success. A few months ... Read More

Rating: - Cash well spent
Two defining moments in the career of Cash, and the development of music to the masses.
The production of these disks is excelent, the sleeve notes cover everything the casual listener could wish for and the music is great fun.
How Cash pulled off these performances has always invoked wonder. I could never understand how the authorities thought they could control the crowd, but Cash had them eating out the palm of his hands.
These disks are an essential addition to any music collection.
