Personnel: Johnny Cash (vocals, guitar); June Carter, The Carter Family, The Statler Brothers (vocals); Luther Perkins, Bob Wootton, Carl Perkins (electric guitar); Marshall Grant (bass guitar); W. S. "Fluke" Holland (drums). Recording information: 1969. One of country music`s unequivocal stars, Johnny Cash retained respect for the travails of the audience elevating him to that position. Recorded live at one of America`s most notorious prisons, this album displays an empathy bereft of condescension and captures a performer combining charisma with natural ease. The material is balanced between established favorites and new material including "Wanted Man" (an unrecorded Bob Dylan song), and the lighthearted hit "A Boy Named Sue." It was not the first time Cash had recorded in a penal institution, but this appearance, at a time when American values were vociferously questioned, suggested the artist`s rebelliousness had not dimmed.

This cd, like many other Johhny Cash cds, contains wonderful live music. The big downfall for this one is because it is live at a prison there is way too much talking before every song. About 2min 30 sec go by before any music starts. There are plenty other JC albums with no talking and are great like his music naturally is
