Johnny Cash "At San Quentin" (1969)
Riding the success of "At Folsom Prison" Cash took the recording gear
into San Quentin Prison. Apparently it actually was the fourth time that he'd played
at that particular establishment, so it feels like less of a gimmick than it might for another
artist. That is, he wasn't just there to make this one record.
Cash seems to be right in his element, joking with the inmates
and whipping them into a frenzy.
Good, fun live album, only made annoying by the fact that I was watching
it on youtube and every 10-12 minutes it would pause (usually mid-song)
for "imagine you're writing a really important email for work...." STFU!
