 … audio tape of Sherley singing the song. After hearing the tape Cash rushed to include the song on the live album the next night.

Throughout the album Cash seems to empathize with the plight of the prisoners. The inmates for their part had a great deal of respect for Cash and his works, though some of the sounds that seemed to be from the inmates (cheering and shouting) were actually dubbed in after the recording, most notably the cheering following the line “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” on “Folsom Prison Blues.”

On the original LP release, the song order was changed and several songs were cut, probably for space reasons. The version released… tsts.. melhor ouvir.. melhor ouvir..
