	Johnny Cash - Rockabilly Central
		At Folsom Prison has stayed in print ever after -- paired, since 1975, in a double-album set with its follow-up, At San Quentin, which produced the Shel Silverstein-penned classic "A Boy Named Sue." That in itself is a remarkable accomplishment given country music's short-term memory.
		Prisons in 1968 were radically different from today's models, or at least the public had a somewhat different relationship to the prison population then.
		The notion that prisoners might be rehabilitated was still in vogue, as was the sense that many good men were unfairly sequestered within those hard walls.
