January 13, 1968 is the day that Johnny Cash and his crew — June Carter (two months before their wedding), Columbia staff producer Bob Johnston, Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and the Tennessee Three (guitarist Luther Perkins, bassist Marshall Grant, drummer W.S. “Fluke” Holland) — rolled into northern California’s notorious maximum security lockup and gave a performance that changed Cash’s career arc and the future of popular music with the recording of At Folsom Prison.
This revealing three-disc (2 CD+DVD) close-up of that day presents the entire unvarnished 65-minute first show on disc one – expletives intact for the first time, and with seven previously unissued tracks; and the entire 75-minute second show on disc two, with 24 previously unissued tracks (out of 26). It’s topped off with a documentary DVD — featuring exclusive footage from inside Folsom, interviews with Merle Haggard, Rosanne Cash, Marty Stuart, and former inmates who witnessed the concert, and unpublished photography by Jim Marshall.
