Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison [2-lp, 45 RPM] Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab NEW Viny

Description: On January 1968, Johnny Cash took the stage at Folsom Prison for two shows amid a darkening sociopolitical atmosphere and a raging war in Vietnam — as well as the knowledge his career and health hung on by a thread. Notably, the singer shared many of the long odds and abject failures of the inmates for which he performed. The songs he chose, and the conviction with which he delivered them, say as much. The point at which Cash transformed from a country star into a legendary artist, and a bold statement about the American prison state and its commitment to rehabilitation, the triple-platinum At Folsom Prison remains one the most important, potent, and fabled records of the 20th century. Mastered at MoFi’s reknowned mastering system at its California studios, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set and hybrid SACD editions of At Folsom Prison veritably place you in the cafeteria with the hootin’ and hollerin’ prisoners with which Cash felt a mutual chemistry, sympathy, and spirit. Through-lines to the no-frills rawness that helps make this landmark record among the most genuine documents ever committed to tape, these audiophile reissues present what transpired that winter day with a fullness, directness, spaciousness, and dynamic absent prior editions. You can hear it echo off the walls of the room; pulse through the Tennessee Three’s acoustic-based rhythms; ring in the comedy of the off-cuff remarks and pair of novelty tunes; sense it in palpable energy that wells up within Cash and his audience. And you can experience it like never before via Cash’s knockout singing. Not for nothing did the myth of Cash having done hard time persist for decades once this record hit the streets. That’s how real it is, and how dedicated Cash remains to conveying every note with nothing but the truth. Side One: 1. Folsom Prison Blues2. Dark as the Dungeon3. I Still Miss Someone4.
