Editorial Reviews

A wonder . . . an important book about an epochal album-- "American Songwriter"

As an important piece of pop, rock, and country music historiography and as a fitting remembrance of the Man in Black, this . . . is essential.-- "Booklist"

Triumphant on biographical and social levels, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison nearly matches its titular musical subject for pure poetic grit.-- "Magnet"
