Johnny Cash, backed by an all-star ensemble of talent, stepped
on stage at California State Prison in Folsom on this day in
history, Jan. 13, 1968.
The concert and the subsequent live album launched him back
into the charts and re-defined his career.
The Man in Black recorded a landmark album that included
a song written by inmate Glen Sherley (right).
Greystone Chapel (above) at Folsom Prison was the
inspiration for the song, ‘Folsom Prison Blues.’
