Listened to the reissue. Properly cohesive, and you get a sight into the prisoners who shut up to listen to some proper country music.

Absolutely magical. You hear stuff like this in the movies, the way they talk and act, but this is so real. It's like being right in the Prison, just for that moment everyone forgot about their pasts and enjoyed some great, simple music.

Listening to the Legacy Edition on Spotify, and it is awesome. Carl Perkins opened it all up, it is the entire (appears unedited) recording.

This is great, the audience is awesome.

This is a quintessential live album. If you are only going to buy one Johnny Cash album look no further than At Folsom Prison. The energy is palpable from the inmates at the prison. Johnny was not just country, he was a rocker also. He's a true legend and he absolutely shines on this album. A must have!!!!

Johnny Cash gives a superb performance.

Thank my dad for this one making my chart. Nice piece of work.

The perfect match of great songs with an appropriate audience. You can feel the energy of the prisoners, as Johnny Cash gives them what they are already feeling. He feeds off the crowd and shows empathy for their plight. In today's age of off-stage tantrums and disinterested performances, Johnny Cash gives a thesis on how to use your audience to make history. Best live album ever, hands down.

A sort of concept album, Cash gathered up all the songs he knew about crime and prisons and headed for Folsom to produce the most atmospheric live album there is. A one man history of popular music in the second half of the 20th century, he carried on producing great records until the end, without really being able to sing! Amazing!

"Elvis would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash" Lyrics from Elvis Ate America. I am caught between his remakes of todays music or his renditions of traditional folk.
