专辑简介
2 CD set of both of Cash's famous live prison albums of the '60s. Cash has always been a champion of the underdog, as well as cultivating a bit of a badass image (a veneer not harmed by some well-publicized troubles with the law), so these live performances for the prisoners of the Folsom and San Quentin penitentiaries seem more like a preacher delivering a sermon to a faithful parish than a do-gooder slumming in the prison system. Each concert includes a song tailor-made for the event. 'San Quentin' is sung from the point of view of a long-time inmate who bears the psychic scars of incarceration. 'Folsom Prison Blues', one of Cash's signature songs, is Cash's most cold-eyed examination of the sociopathic criminal mind, containing the famous line 'I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.' Tunes like these naturally endear Cash to his captive audience, but the prisoners are equally enthused by the humorous, Shel Silverstein-penned 'A Boy Named Sue', the sad, romantic 'I Still Miss Someone' and the uproarious, best Country song title of all time-award winner 'Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart'. Columbia. 2006.
