Reviews"Backed by the Tennessee Three, rockabilly guitarist Carl Perkins, and vocal group the Statler Brothers, the 'Man in Black' delivered a passionate mix of unsweetened folk balladry, honky tonk, blues and country gospel.", "...an impressive performance document that gives a fuller sense of Cash's stage persona and his relationship with the audience....The song order has been corrected to the original performance....with 3 previously unreleased songs...", "AT FOLSOM PRISON is a record that has long been considered one of the most influential albums of the '60s....The raw vibe of the performance is captured perfectly...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...It's an Effortless and Powerful Performance....Touching...", Ranked #88 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Essential Cash....The 2,000 inmates roar their approval...", "Cash's performance of inmate Glen Sherley's 'Greystone Chapel' is the highlight....It's no exaggeration to say that JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON is his masterwork.", "...You get the sense that Cash could just as easily be in the audience as on stage at this raucous show, and the inmates know it...", "'Folsom Prison Blues' is the inevitable lead-off of this spirited live album, which freights a joyful vim at odds with its surroundings.", "...finally receiving a proper...reissue....Restored is Cash's salty stage-banter in all of its uncensored glory, alongside every one of the crowd's raucous, foot-stomping, hollering responses....repeatedly delivers the kind of goosebumps that few records can.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "It chimed perfectly with the rebellious spirit of the times, becoming a turning point for country music...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...represents Cash at the peak of his powers, bringing a highly combustible mixture of joy and pain to 2000 excitable inmates....Any more real and full body armor would have had to be supplied.", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "Savour this for the Original Show in All Its Primal Glory.", "A Legendary 1968 Concert, Activist Entertainment on a Par with Bob Dylan and Public Enemy."
