Advantages: Totaly Definitive Album Disadvantages: None Whasoever Buy It and Make your life Better
For definitive albums you don't get much more definitive than this one. JohnnyCash backed by the Tennassee three and others, playing to 2000 inmates and armed guards at Folsam Prison.
The album kicks off in fine style with "Folsam Prison Blues" with the tennassee three Boom-chicka-Booming in fine style and goes down a storm with the crowd. There is also a good selection of songs paying "tribute" to Johnny's toubled past, such as "Cocaine Blues" and the gallows humor of "25 Minutes to Go". Cash's bas baritone is also in fine form throughout the recording which is especially good on the very soulful rendition of "The Green Green Grass Of Home"
The album covers pretty much the whole of Johnnys repotire filled to the brim with songs about Murder, Crime, Drinking, Drugs, Love, Spirituality and Twisted Humor. This album is pretty much ...
Advantages: 104 songs means great value for money, plus, a book! Disadvantages: Not a chance of getting this on your CD shelf, it is a tall book too!

The box set comes in a book layout, which is two CD's high, and one CD's wide. The book is a hardback book, making it strong, with a grey front cover, with a picture of JohnnyCash with his back turned to the camera, and the words "CASH THE LEGEND" on the front in large white and black text. The spine and back cover are a darker grey colour, which is almost black. The spine has "JOHNNYCASH THE LEGEND" written down the side in silver text, and the back cover features a "blurb" about Cash, and the track listings, all again in silver.
When you open the book the 4 CDs are situated on the back of the 2 covers, with the 72 page display book in between the 2 covers ...
Advantages: Classic , fresh , raw , entertaining , a little piece of history . Disadvantages: May be too dated for some .
Background
JohnnyCash had been recording and playing for quite a while before I came across him properly as an artiste. In the early seventies my brother bought "JohnnyCash live at St Quentin" and it was a real eye opener, or should I say ear opener to me. Previously to this I had sort of heard him in passing but not taken that much notice. As a flighty teenager he had seemed far too old and straight to appeal to me. It took my advancing years to truly get a feel for the man and his music. However "San Quentin" was one of the first rungs on the ladder.
My boyfriend at the time, and Husband to this day, bought the L.P before I knew him and so, among our differing tastes in music, this was one firm favourite. He has bought Cash?s music over the years right up to his final offerings and for me the music matured well along ...
