Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.7/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Show lendário.
A solid country album with a very strong vocal performance and some smart song choices which makes for a smooth experience. The audience are a huge part of what makes this album special as you really get a feel of what it would have been like to be there. His interactions with the crowd are fantastic as well and they make it such a personal experience making it so easy to connect to the music. Overall, Cash demonstrates on here why he is considered one of the best voices in country music making it a must listen and a very enjoyable one as well.
Great performance, great voice, overall great country music.

Iconic live performance that warrants its acclaim. Cash sounds fantastic and picks a nice group of originals and covers, some of which have become integral to music history.
I usually don't include live albums on my rankings or lists, but this album is just incredible and should be heard by any fans of Cash or folks who want to get into Cash.

The double disc + DVD Box Set of the now renown "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison" album (originally released in 1968 as Columbia CS 9639) was re-issued in a "Legacy Edition" in 2008 on Columbia/Legacy (Cat#: 88697 32742 2). It features an entire second disc of previously unreleased versions of the second of two concerts performed at Folsom Prison the same day as the one featured on the 1968 release. In addition it features a DVD of a documentary film that was filmed that same day, and subsequent interviews with Cash's daughter Roseanne, supporting musicians who performed at the concert, Cash associate Marty Stuart, former prisoners who were in the audience at the concert and many others. The Box Set also features extensive liner notes, etc. It is well worth seeking out. Authenticated at discogs.com

Wider-ranging set list than San Quentin, but I ultimately prefer the older Cash of the other album by a hair.
