"Johnny Cash At San Quentin" is brilliant! This is the best of Johnny Cash's albums and now one of my favorites, which also includes "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison".

Better Than JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON! More Relaxed, Energetic, and More Variety!

I like this live album, JOHNNY CASH AT SAN QUENTIN, more than his more famous, previous live prison concert album, JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON. They each have their different aspects to make them both worthwhile, but the AT SAN QUENTIN performance has more musical variety, is more relaxed (less serious, less nervous, more humorous), and is more fun to listen to.

Johnny Cash at his best!

Live at San Quentin is one of best live albums that I have heard, perhaps only topped by Live at Folsom Prison. The more polished performances at San Quentin nicely complement the raw energy of Folsom Prison. Fans of Cash's studio releases will likely be surprised by how much cooler these live versions are. Highlights include Big River, I Walk the Line, I Still Miss Someone, Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire, and of course the song that sent this album to the top of the charts, A Boy Named Sue. A great summary of the first half of Johnny Cash's career.
