"Every time I listen to this album it's 1968 and not even my computer can convince me otherwise. The honesty and raw delivery of this performance bleeds a humanity that transcends beyond the music itself. This hour-long performance yielded the best country LP you will come across."

"It's an enjoyable album, but sounds a little tame these days. If it was recorded in an arena would it be held in such acclaim or does the fact that it's a prison give it a reputation that makes it a little more notorious than it actually is. It's a good album, but nothing more than a competent live recording."
