Title: Johnny Cash – Johnny Cash at San Quentin
Year/Genre: 1969, Country (Live)
Condition: VG (cover is worn from age but still looks good)
Cultural Facts:
-
Cash had to negotiate with prison officials over what could be said on stage—part of why these shows feel like a public high-wire act.
-
The album fed a broader late-’60s debate about punishment vs. rehabilitation, making Cash a rare country star treated like a social commentator.
-
Prison LPs became a genre in themselves after this era—labels realized “institutional America” was a marketable setting, not just a concert.
