WALK THE LINE - NEW JOHNNY CASH MOVIE
Music fans (and yes, not just country music fans) will tell you that Cash’s Folsom Prison album is still considered by many to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. In the previews of the movie, we see the scene in which Cash, about to perform at Folsom, is asked by a prison official to “refrain from playing any songs that will remind the inmates that they’re in prison.” An utterly cool Cash replies, “You think they forgot?” Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison: The Making of a Masterpiece (Da Capo, $15.95, 0306814536) is a riveting account of that day and the story that surrounds it.
