On January 12, 1968 Johnny Cash was at a crossroads in his legendary career. Having reached the heights of stardom with songs like "Big River", "Cry Cry Cry" and "Guess Things Happen That Way", the Man in Black was in jeapordy of riding off into the sunset" on a Tennesse Stud when Columbia Records relented to his request to record an album inside the walls of a hardened prison. Johnny had been doing these shows for a decade, and believed it was the perfect audience to catapult him into the next phase of his career. On January 13, he performed two shows in mess hall 2 of California's notorious Folsom Prison. The recordings from those concerts turned out to be not only one of the greatest country music albums of all time, but one of the greatest live albums of any genre. This week an actual relative (by marriage) of Johnny joins us, the inimitable TJ2 from the Rock and Roll Heaven Podcast, to talk about the tremendous legacy of this album and his relative. #johnnycash #folsomeprisonblues #columbiarecords #folsomprison #walktheline #Jackson
