I’m a bit torn on this one. It’s a fun album, sure. The live prison audience gives it an absolutely unique and energetic atmosphere. But live albums kind of suck, and this being recorded in 1969 makes this that much more dated. Add to that the bleeping of swears and hissing of a poor analog to digital transfer, I felt this didn’t do justice to Johnny Cash’s songs and the atmosphere of the concert.
Averaging the concept with the production, this’ll have to stay a 5.
I’m Seb: kind of working in IT, kind of working on other things as well – jack of all trades and master of none, and that’s how I like it.
I should have been a court’s “jester and weird artist in residence”, but capitalism made it such that I have to work during the day to support techno-feudalism and do my hobbies in my spare time. This is where I’m posting attempts at art, whacks at writing, rolls of reviews, bucket list blunders, artificial articles and a hodgepodge of hobby histories.
Stick around for stories on slow, retro, and analogue living, odd history, weird finds, half-baked reviews, alternative media and a big folder labelled “misc”.
