Description
Released in December 1955 on Sun Records, Folsom Prison Blues is one of the most significant recordings in the history of American music. This landmark single, backed by So Doggone Lonesome, established Johnny Cash as a major force in both the country and burgeoning rockabilly scenes. Recorded at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis under the guidance of Sam Phillips, the track features the iconic freight-train rhythm of the Tennessee Two. Its dark, evocative lyrics and Cash's authoritative baritone became his signature, later culminating in his famous 1968 live performance at the prison itself. This original 45 RPM pressing, catalog number 232, is a cornerstone for serious collectors of Sun Records and 1950s Americana. This copy is in highly desirable VG+ condition, showing excellent luster and providing a clean, powerful listening experience. It remains a essential piece of musical history.
