Johnny Cash was a passionate man but the country star was particularly interested with the downtrodden.
Though playing shows in prisons was not unusual to Johnny (San Quentin, Folsom State Prison) - he had never performed at a prison outside the U.S.A. when he took the stage at 1:10 p.m. on October 3, 1972 at Osteraker Prison north of Stockholm, Sweden.
He opened with A Boy Named Sue for a fully-seated auditorium and for the next hour plus continued with some of his biggest hits and fan favorites. To commemorate the day, Johnny had learned a few Swedish words: "Thank you my friends, I hope you like our music."
Now, finally uncovered after 35 years in the vaults, is Johnny Cash - Live At Osteraker Prison. Expanded with new liner notes, remastered with 12 bonus tracks - brought to you by the man who walked the line.
