Songs You Should Hear 5/11- Johnny Cash, Austin Prison

Johnny Cash- Austin Prison



One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs ever. "He said 'you killed that woman, I know you shot her, why'd you do it?". In "Folsom Prison Blues" the guy knows he "had it coming" and that he "can't be free". Here he's not so penitent and gives the classic description of the jury that finds him guilty as "12 evil men with murder in their eyes". Here he is, Joaquin Phoenix, singing the best track off his 1966 album "Everybody Loves a Nut".
