hardly worth the Cash

I haven't felt this burned by a CD in a long time. Only 7 of these cuts are actually Johnny Cash. And the songs that are him are certainly not his best versions. The comedy routines are DREADFUL. There is almost no info on the recordings or the concert .

Perhaps the DVD is a better experience.

With all of the great JC re-releases, new collections, and concerts coming out put this one at the bottom of your want list.

I'm sure the guys in the prison enjoyed it

This has "made-for-T.V." written all over it. Not the best Cash live recording I've heard (the DVD isn't that impressive either), though I'm sure the guys in the prison enjoyed it. I think I would have enjoyed reading about this show more than listening to it.

Johnny Cash Behind Prison Walls appears to be overdubbed

This show was done actually around 1974 and was originally released on a video called "A Flower Out Of Place" in the early 1980's. It was a show originally hosted by Glen Shirley who wrote the Cash hit "Greystone Chapel" from the "Live At Folsom Prison" album. Although I have not purchased the new CD or DVD, I have seen the video broadcast on satellite. It is in my estimation after having seen and heard the original video that that Cash's band members W.S. Holland (drums) and Marshall Grant (bass) were overdubbed with tracks recorded by other musicians. I don't know why it would be done this way, but I'm afraid that it is true. I do not plan to purchase the CD or DVD.
