Free Music Review: The compelling detail seems divine
Hit: 5 Stars
Michael Streissguth is surely one of God's honored clay vessels from which He pours His rare gift of prose. I cannot count the times during the consuming literary journey of, `Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison', that I stopped to remind myself, "Wait a minute, Streissguth was just a kid in 1968?-he was not at Folsom with John" or, "No-Streissguth is not absent from all of the photos because he was the one with the camera, he just wasn't there-he was not with the Cash entourage." The compelling detail seems divine-perhaps it is, for it is related as though from the heart and hand of One??-who saw the whole thing as it happened.

Free Music Review: The Greatest Live Performance Ever
Hit: 5 Stars
To me, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison is magic. As good as his other stuff is, he was clearly at the top of his game during this performance. The electricity on stage combined with genuine enthusiasm of the prisoners is unlike anything I have ever heard before. There is no other way to put it, other than it all came together for this one CD. No matter how many times I hear it, it only gets better. I never get tired of listening to Folsom Prison. As good as the start of the concert is with a very enthusiastic "Folsom Prison Blues", it's the ending with "Greystone Chapel", a song written by one of the prisoners that makes this CD truly unique. I have 4 children aging from 14 to 5 and have heard all of them singing songs from Folsom Prison. My all time favorite CD and it isn't even close. That "The legend of John Henry's hammer", was left of the original album, is almost impossible to believe.Free Music Review: Folsom prison " Authnetic and Honest
Hit: 5 Stars
I really am enjoying the "Folsom Prsion" CD by Johnny cash. The live element makes it what it is. Authentically honest. The prison announcenments during the concert are priceless. Knowing that Johnny Cash was not a "head in the clouds" person but a man who knew his shortcomings makes this cd even more real. He was a man who knew the power of redemption and it shines through on Folsom.Free Music Review: Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, of course this is a classic - the first of two "prison" live LPs that would help solidify Johnny Cash's "bad boy" image in contemporary culture. As such, this record is more of an event, or even a story; Cash's intros connect to the crowd in a special way because everyone knows their unique situation, and can to a certain extent identify. It's a brilliiant concept for one of the most thrilling live recordings ever.
Missing, oddly, is the classic "A Boy Named Sue," which appeared as a single. A usual with Johnny Cash, it takes several records to finally end up with the ones you like.
