Una vez más escuchando esta joya, un concierto de Johnny Cash en 1968 en la prisión de Folsom (California). Seguramente no el directo mejor grabado o mejor interpretado pero sí para mí uno de los más imponentes, a pesar de haber leído recientemente que los presos le tenían tanto respeto que fueron bastante silenciosos y se hubo de insertar posteriormente algunos aplausos y demás sonidos (un recurso que se ha usado otras veces en las grabaciones en directo). Pero esa voz, esas canciones y el carisma que se le nota cada vez que habla... En fin, un monumento de la música popular norteamericana que va bien en casi cualquier momento pero sobre todo me parece crucial disfrutarlo a un volumen considerable.
Listening again to this masterpiece, Johnny Cash recorded live in 1968 in Folsom Prison (California). Might not be the best live recording of all times but to me one of the most impressive and valued, despite having read lately that the prisoners had so much respect for him that remained quite silent during the show so applauses and noise had to be fixed afterwards in the Studio (a trick that has been used some other times). But that voice, those songs and that charisma every time he speaks... Anyway, a monument of American popular music that goes well for almost any time or moment of the day and I would suggest enjoying it at high volume.
