Review title: Cash before a captive (literally) audience
Product review: This is a magnificent recording from the days before country and western became indistinguishable from bad pop music. Johnny Cash, whose own life was pretty hard and dirty at times, commands the respect of his audience and establishes a rapport with them that few entertainers could achieve. Not surprisingly, a number of the songs are about prison life. Country songs often deal in maudlin sentimentality, but great performers like Cash sell these songs because you just know they mean every word of it. This version presents the full set, preserving Cash's banter with the spectators and including several minutes during which the tape was apparently left running, allowing us to listen in on snatches of conversation from the milling crowd, announcements over the prison PA system, and other sounds that make this a valuable record of an extraordinary time and show.
