 Johnny Cash - At San Quentin - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
Johnny Cash At San Quentin was the follow-up to June 1968’s Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison, the enormously successful #1 country LP (for four weeks), his first major pop crossover success (#13), which went on to spend 92 weeks on the pop chart and 122 weeks on the country chart.
San Quentin spun off an adventurous live single, Shel Silver¬stein’s “A Boy Named Sue” (#1 country for 5 weeks, #2 pop) — radio stations showed their mettle by playing the un- bleeped “sonuvabitch” version, or by toeing the line and airing the bleeped version.
San Quentin was an historic 10-song LP when it was first released in 1969 — and it was an historic occasion 31 years later when it was first remastered as an expanded edition CD.

To put the performance on At San Quentin in a bit of perspective: Johnny Cash's key partner in the Tennessee Two, guitarist Luther Perkins, died in August 1968, just seven months before this set was recorded in February 1969.
In addition to that, Cash was nearing the peak of his popularity -- his 1968 live album, At Folsom Prison, was a smash success -- but he was nearly at his wildest in his personal life, which surely spilled over into his performance.
All of this sets the stage for At San Quentin, a nominal sequel to At Folsom Prison that surpasses its predecessor and captures Cash at his rawest and wildest.

Johnny Cash is almost suprisingly categorized as "country" - maybe the term "country" meant something very different in the 1960s than it does today, but listening from the perspective of the 21st century, Johnny Cash's music sounds closer to folk or rockabilly than country.

 Johnny Cash : At San Quentin (CD/DVD) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
At San Quentin was released as a single-disc expanded edition in 2000 bearing the subtitle "The Complete Concert," so the appearance of the triple-disc Legacy Edition of the album a mere six years later brings up one simple question: if the 2000 edition was complete at a single disc, how is this set more complete?
Second, the 2000 CD more or less contained the entirety of Johnny Cash's portion of the concert, but this contains the entire concert, which means that it has performances from the other three acts on the tour: Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and the Carter Family.
But this At San Quentin, like the two previous At San Quentin albums, illustrates just what a complex, dynamic personality Johnny Cash was, while being a hell of a lot of fun.
