Lädt ... Folsom Untold: The Strange True Story of Johnny Cash's Greatest Albumvon Danny Robins
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() Not so Strange, but certainly Ironic and Tragic Review of the Audible Studios audiobook I haven't read "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison: The Making of a Masterpiece" by Michael Streissguth, which is an acknowledged source for this audiobook/podcast, but presumably it contains a more extensive documentation of the background and later history of the Folsom Prison recording. As a brief summary, Robins' Audible Studios recording (which was a free Audible Original for February 2019) does a good job of covering the highlights with the value-added content of interviews with still living witnesses such as Johnny Cash's drummer W.S. "Fluke" Holland and retired Folsom prison guard Jim Brown. The daughter and stepson of songwriter Glen Sherley, who was a Folsom inmate at the time of the recording, are also interviewed. The casual Johnny Cash fan will likely be at least somewhat familiar with Cash's history of prison performances through the Folsom and later San Quentin recordings and as one of the key scenes in the biopic "Walk the Line" (2005). The ironic and tragic revelations of Folsom Untold relate to Cash's performance of inmate Glen Sherley's song Greystone Chapel at the concert and his later efforts to assist Sherley in parole and rehabilitation which sadly ended in estrangement and Sherley's eventual suicide. The other main twist is the reveal that Columbia engineers edited in the prison audience's howls of approval at the line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." during the song Folsom Prison Blues for a faked frisson of cold-blooded convict reaction. The actual unedited tapes of the concert reveal total silence by the audience at that point. Apparently the major audience reaction was to Cash's handshake acknowledgement of Sherley at the end of the Greystone Chapel song performance. https://theselvedgeyard.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/johnny_cash_folsom_prison_10...
