Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying. His somber machismo finally found a home. The songs, which included every prison song Cash knew ("I Got Stripes," "The Wall," "25 Minutes to Go," "Cocaine Blues," plus his own "Folsom Prison Blues") were tailored to galvanize the crowd. This set is all about atmosphere. Live at the Grand Ole Opry this ain't. The 1999 version drops the San Quentin portion of the original CD reissue, instead adding three cuts to complete the full and uncensored Folsom show. --Colin Escott

Amazon, you may want to give this special Legacy Edition its own review thread as it stands the comments are comming from the Vinyl, mp3, Audio CD AND At Folsom Prison Legacy Edition (2CD/1 DVD) altogether. The CDs of which I write have more content than the original vinyl and the remasterd version CD of the that Album.
What many people don't know is that on that day at Folsom Prison Johnny Cash gave two concerts: one at 09:40 AM and another at 12:40 PM. The 09:40 concert is the one put on the album most of us are familiar with. During the 12:40 concert you can tell right out that Johnny Cash had just given a previous concert as his voice is tired and he made more slip-ups--but still a good listen I think.
"The show at Folsom in 1968 was a long one and I always thought that the the songs that were not on the album were as worthy of being heard as the ones that were." --Johnny Cash: June, 1999 (Taken from enclosed booklet of the Legacy Edition).
If you have the remastered uncensored Audio CD of this concert you should know that this Legacy Edition has in addition to the extra tracts a little more of Johnny Cash chatting and making remarks.
What I enjoyed most is the 2 Hour and Ten Minute DVD. It is a Documentary and not a live film of the concert though you get plenty of live shots bw/color from other Johnny Cash concerts and audio snips of live interviews given by Cash commenting on the start of his career. Marshal Grant talking about the beginnings of The Tennesse Two and the old-times is priceless! W.S. Holland also puts in his memories of the early times with Johnny Cash. There are also interviews with Merle Haggard, Rosanne Cash, Marty Stuart and former inmates who saw the concert.
The enclosed 39 page booklet includes photos by the Folsom Prison Concert photographer Jim Marshal --up to now unpublished.
All in all I think this piece of history is a steal at ca. $28.00.
This is Cash at his best. There is not one song that drags or you wish to skip over. One song flows into another with narratives and audience reactions and interactions. It is a true treat to hear how the prisoners react to the songs Cash preformed just for them, songs of despair, songs of prison life, funny songs, and touching gospel songs. It's all here and its so well done, it leaves you shouting with the prisoners for more when the performance concludes. How I wish I could get this performance on video!
I have to also highly recommend Cash's other live prison album, San Quentin. There are many new and different songs, and once again, the live performance injects an energy and vitality that has to be heard to be appreciated. The two live prison albums are absolute MUSTS for Cash fans.
Before closing, mention has to be made of Cash's band and backup vocals. The band is as lively a band as can be; the electric guitar playing of Carl and Luther Perkins is absolutely fantastic and infectious, and the same is true of W.S. Holland on drums. June Carter and the Carter family are a delight. June's duet with Johnny in the song "Jackson" is priceless. One can only imagine the facial expressions of the two as they banter back and forth in the lyrics of this song! June Cater's voice is especially pleasing and she can belt out a song with as much power and personality as her husband Johnny Cash.
After hearing this album, you'll want more of Johnny Cash, and fortunately for his music fans, there is plenty out there that will appeal to you.

Over the years I've picked up several other Johnny Cash records, spanning all sorts of parts in his musical career. Gospel, blues, love, pain, and even the more traditional banjo-slappin' country. He's my exception to the general awful country music rule. I would hardly even consider him that, if it weren't for so many records in his past that have that twang. Even living in the south, I absolutely detest that sappy, whiney, mopey brand of music. Give me someone singing about cocaine, murder, and suicide any day over a weepy man crying about his broken car and deadbeat dad.
Johnny Cash embraces all the pain and beauty of life and distills it down perfectly into this record. I get chills hearing the cheers and jeers of the inmates, the interaction of Cash between the warden and the way he seems to get a fire in his soul as he sings to these people. It is wonderful and chilling and a little ominous. There are a few songs I don't particularly care for, but that doesn't stop me from playing this record frequently.
