Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash In San Quentin

Review by Tino Blaha-Ihm

Johnny Cash In San Quentin is a live album that was recorded in 1969 at the San Quentin State Prison in California. The album features Johnny Cash performing some of his most popular songs in front of an audience of inmates.

The album opens with a rendition of "Wanted Man," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Cash's signature raspy voice is on full display as he belts out classic tracks like "Folsom Prison Blues" and "I Walk the Line." The album also features a number of covers, including "Orange Blossom Special" and "Jackson," which features vocals from Cash's wife, June Carter Cash.

The album is a testament to Cash's ability to connect with his audience, no matter where they come from. His performance at San Quentin is a poignant reminder of the power of music to bring people together, even in the most unlikely of places.
