Here's a treat for any Johnny Cash fans out there. Check out this 1968 performance by Cash, recorded by the Grateful Dead's incomparable soundman, Owsley Stanley (aka Bear).
Relix Magazine recently published an article giving more details on the release, which is part of the series, Bear's Sonic Journals.
That this artifact is so exquisite, both for the performance and its pristine sound quality, is a gift. Cash was a master storyteller, and he told his tales no differently to the Carousel audience than he did the Folsom inmates—the connection he makes with the young urban audience is swift and very real, and it becomes apparent quickly that he’s getting something back from them too.
