Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Digipak reissue of 1969 album that's out-of-print in the US. 2001.

Amazon.com essential recording:
While Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, the 1968 album that made Cash a household word, spent only two weeks at No. 1, this 1969 follow-up topped the charts for 20 weeks. As with Folsom, the San Quentin LP had to be edited due to space limitations. Now, 31 years after the fact, the show can at last be heard in true perspective. All the original performances hold up, including the album's hit single: Shel Silverstein's 'A Boy Named Sue,' presented unbleeped for the first time. Equally impressive are the eight restored tracks and unexpurgated between-song patter. Cash's opening renditions of 'Big River' and 'I Still Miss Someone' are bracing. So are four closing songs teaming Cash with his complete performing troupe (the Carter Family, Carl Perkins, and the Statler Brothers). Their gospel performances ('He Turned the Water into Wine,' 'The Old Account,' and an early version of 'Daddy Sang Bass') are electrifying, as is a concluding medley featuring everyone. Cash is presented here at his roaring, primal best. --Rich Kienzle

Here, we're treated to rousing renditions of early Cash classics "Big River," "I Still Miss Somone," and "I Walk The Line" alongside revamped versions of "Folsom Prison Blues," "Ring Of Fire," and "Wreck Of The Old 97." Needless to say, the addition of Carl Perkins to the list of backing musicians has a great deal to do with the musical quality of this show! However, the musical highlights don't stop there:

At San Quentin, Cash introduces new numbers / soon to be hits such as "A Boy Named Sue" and "Jackson," as well as the biting "San Quentin" and "Starkville City Jail." On the double-disc boxed ... Read More

- Classic Man in Black
Everyone knows Johnny Cash is a legend, and this album shows why that is the case. Not only does it showcase his talent, but it gives you a glimpse of the person as well. Vintage Cash and worth every penny!

- Great CD, but...
My husband loves this CD, but I have a hard time listening to the foul language and gospel music!
