Andre Martänz Johnny Cash is true country for me. Him and Marty Robbins are the few artists that are considered 'country' that I like.

Andre Martänz Oh okay, gotcha. Yeah haha absolutely! Marty Robbins is most known for his first album in 1959, with the songs El Paso and Big Iron. The whole album was just about western life, nothing complicated, but it sounds so great. Big Iron was used in Fallout: New Vegas's soundtrack, which is how most younger people know of him.

TBH the thing that really got me to Cash were the american albums (especially 4 and 5), then folsom and san diego and after that i checked out more and more stuff.

Honestly, I feel Johnny Cash perfected the live album with Live at Folsom Prison. You could tell he's actually human, he cares about what he's singing, even if, in this case, it's federal inmates that are his immediate audience, and he's not just some almost robotic voice belting the same songs over and over again for, well, cash. JR Cash gives a damn fine lineup with it, and I've always preferred this album to the studio versions of their respective songs, especially with Folsom Prison Blues, as not only do I feel Cash gave more umph and fire to this version of the song, the sounds of the crowds of inmates going wild just makes me feel like I'm actually in concert, I'm in Folsom watching this amazing, amazing man perform. I love this album to no end.

I love this album to bits - it's so completely unlike any other live album out there. Apart from At San Quentin, of course, which for me is just as much a classic as At Folsom Prison. If suggestions are actually worth making, I'd say Reign In Blood or Paranoid, because they are quite simply the best metal albums of all time that completely engross me every single time I listen to them, and metal hasn't been covered in your classics yet. I'd also say Metal Box because there's so much fascinating experimentation and extremely intriguing and gripping lyrics, to the extent where I'd say that it's better than Never Mind The Bollocks: Here's The Sex Pistols, and is Johnny Rotten's true classic album.

Great album! You've mentioned this LP in the past, which turned me on to it, and it blew my mind like none of Johnny's work had previously. A truly fascinating cultural event caught on tape.

GZA- Liquid Swords, The Fall of Troy - Doppleganger, Deltron 3030, Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose, At The Drive In - Relationship Of Command, The Format - Interventions and Lullabys, Sublime - 40oz to freedom, or Weezer - The Blue Album

Absolutely love this album. The attitude and atmosphere of this album make it feel like a folk-punk record. The album is a rollercoaster of emotion, from laughing to being stuck in deep sympathetic thought.

You and Cal definitely need to do a country album together!

Oh and I love how the crowd gets so into the music. It's a small space and you can kinda get the feeling that you're there. As opposed to large concerts with yards and yards of ants screaming "Ahhhh AHHHH AHHHH BAND IS SO COOL!" I guess I like the idea that I too am there. No jail but.. at a concert, in jail.

Sweet review Fantano! I'd like to see your opinion on other old school country albums like The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Marshall Tucker Band, and The Outlaws. I loathe when I ask what music people like and they say the tired old answer of "Everything but country." Most modern country seems not as good but if someone has a modern country or rockabilly band they like lemme know!

I've been mixing cocktails all night to bring in the new year. You've just served my elixir of the night. Great review. Oh, and, Turn On the Bright Lights.

You serve everything in tin cups?

Absolutely one of my favorite albums of all time. Coca in blues and the emotional connection you can hear between Cash and the audience make this album a classic great.

Hey Anthony. Have you ever thought of doing a video on your listening set up? Aka Vinyl Player, Amp, Speakers ect?

God , I'm excited for whatever he's reviewing next, maybe some Tribe or OutKast

Hey Anthony, since this is is a live album I'm wondering what you think about Deep Purple's Made in Japan. I heard Child in Time and Highway Star on that LP before I heard the studio versions, and therefore I can't listen to the studio versions. That LP is just really great

Been listening to this album a lot. Surprised to see Plantano do a review on it. Good one.

Hello again. I really enjoyed the album for all the reasons you mentioned, Anthony. The psychology questions this album piques is one of the more entertaining qualities to me. On that note, I thought the influence of the record producer on the inmates may have detracted from the rawness of the album.

That duet with Cal was beautiful.

Like many here in these comments I'm not big into country but this album hits so hard. I love the flow, from the fun bangers at the beginning like Orange Blossom Special and Cocaine Blues and then at the end there are such emotionally touching tracks like Send my Love to Rose, Green Green Grass, and Greystone Chapel.

Not so fun fact: The cheers of the crowd were added in post-production. At the actual show, the crowd was asked to make as little noise as possible. Kinda ruins the magic.

Thanks for this, I don't care for country but have always respected Johnny Cash and enjoyed his music, and hearing an actual great album of his is so much better than just "the hits," and the chemistry on this is fantastic.

I remember when this was first uploaded and melon finally done a country record specifically Johnny Cash I was happy because I am a country fan but Anthony if you're listening please do these two reviews John Mayer or and Grateful Dead

Where do you listen to the stuff you're reviewing? Are you gonna do some more classics any time soon, plis?

If the only remnants left of Johnny Cash's legacy were the American Recordings albums he'd be a legend on those alone

love what you said about this love Folsum and maybe San Quentin maybe even a lil more... such an epic record! do you own it on vinyl ???. Anyhow please please please can you do a review of Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue live 1975???.

I inherited a copy of this record from my dad and it's easily one of my favorite records that I own (not exactly my go-to when I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for, but I would call myself a proud owner). Specifically, I like that there's nothing about it that I can specifically quantify as superior to anything else he's made, but somehow despite that it comes together as a beautiful composition. I mean, he certainly had more on-point performances in his career with more professionalism and a better mix. Better performances of some of those songs have been played by people I know, just sitting around a campfire at a music festival. That said, all of the little hiccups and odd moments during the concert come together with the relatively low-fidelity sound and kind-of muffled mix almost like the brushstrokes on an impressionist painting, and when you stand back and let it all wash together, it's perfect. As long as you're going back in time, have you reviewed Tom Waits' Closing Time?

What about Paul Simon's Graceland, or The Grateful Dead's American Beauty?

Can you review Public Enemy or possibly a Tribe called Quest
