Johnny Cash


"At Folsom Prison (Legacy Edition)"


Columbia/Legacy



Fact: Johnny Cash played not one, but two shows in the cafeteria of 
California’s Folsom State Prison on January 13, 1968. Cash’s album of 
his remarkable 9:40 a.m. early show sold more than one million copies 
when it was released later that year.



"At Folsom Prison" marks one of the great conjunctions of artist and 
audience in music history. Cash was cocky, profane, and inspiring 
while performing songs like "Folsom Prison Blues," Merle Travis’s 
"Dark as a Dungeon," and Shel Silverstein’s "25 Minutes to Go."



The triple-disc legacy edition of "At Folsom Prison" includes the 
entire lunchtime show (Cash performs gamely while gradually losing 
his voice), a DVD documentary about the experience, and several 
previously unreleased tracks by guest artists Carl Perkins, the 
Statler Brothers, and June Carter Cash. It’s Cash’s rowdy compassion 
for these society outcasts, however, that shines through more 
strongly than ever.

John Adams


"Hallelujah Junction"


Nonesuch



A superior classical best-of, this two-CD retrospective provides an 
excellent and entertaining introduction to the sophisticated-yet-
accessible work of one of America’s most important contemporary 
composers.



Released in conjunction with his recently published memoir, 
"Hallelujah Junction" successfully maps out the fascinating breadth 
of Adams’s musical concerns, which include minimalism, atonality, 
Shaker culture, opera, cartoon music, rock, the Beats, Old Testament 
prophets, Jewish cantors, Pakistani devotional singing, Handel, 
Schoenberg, and Mozart. 
After you’ve sampled Adams’s work—from his exultant and brooding 
"Harmonium" (1980) to his optimistic 2006 eco-opera, "The Flowering 
Tree"—don’t be surprised if you find yourself in possession of an 
altogether new outlook on contemporary classical music.
