Sell Your Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison Signed Album
Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison is the first live album by American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records on May 6, 1968. After his 1955 song “Folsom Prison Blues”, Cash had been interested in recording a performance at a prison. His idea was put on hold until 1967, when personnel changes at Columbia Records put Bob Johnston in charge of producing Cash’s material. Cash had recently controlled his drug abuse problems, and was looking to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success. Backed by June Carter, Carl Perkins, and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom State Prison in California on January 13, 1968. The album consists of 15 songs from the first show and two from the second.

Jerry Lee Lewis Johnny Cash & Carl Perkins Signed Photo
“Million Dollar Quartet” is a recording of an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash made on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. An article about the session was published in the Memphis Press-Scimitar under the title “Million Dollar Quartet”. The recording was first released in Europe in 1981 as The Million Dollar Quartet with 17 tracks. A few years later more tracks were discovered and released as The Complete Million Dollar Session. In 1990, the recordings were released in the United States as Elvis Presley – The Million Dollar Quartet. This session is considered a seminal moment in rock and roll.
The jam session seems to have happened by pure chance. Perkins, who by this time had already met success with “Blue Suede Shoes”, had come into the studios that day accompanied by his brothers Clayton and Jay and by drummer W.S. Holland, their aim being to record some new material, including a revamped version of an old blues song, “Matchbox”. Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records, who wanted to try to fatten this sparse rockabilly instrumentation, had brought in his latest acquisition, Jerry Lee Lewis, still unknown outside Memphis, to play piano (at the time, a Wurlitzer Spinet) on the Perkins session. Lewis’s first Sun single would be released a few days later. Sometime in the early afternoon, 21-year-old Elvis Presley, a former Sun artist now with RCA Victor, arrived to pay a casual visit accompanied by a girlfriend, Marilyn Evans. After chatting with Phillips in the control room, Presley listened to the playback of Perkins’s session, which he pronounced to be good. Then he went into the studio and some time later, the jam session began. At some point during the session, Sun artist Johnny Cash, who had recently enjoyed a few hit records on the country charts, arrived as well. (Cash wrote in his autobiography Cash that he had been first to arrive at the Sun Studio that day, wanting to listen in on the Perkins recording session.) Jack Clement was engineering that day and remembers saying to himself “I think I’d be remiss not to record this,” and so he did. After running through a number of songs, Elvis and girlfriend Evans slipped out as Jerry Lee pounded away on the piano. Cash wrote in Cash that “no one wanted to follow Jerry Lee, not even Elvis.” Whatever Elvis’s feelings may or may not have been in regard to “following” Lewis, Presley was clearly the “star” of the impromptu jam session, which consisted largely of snippets of gospel songs that the four artists had all grown up singing. The recordings show Elvis, the most nationally and internationally famous of the four at the time, to be the focal point of what was a casual, spur-of-the-moment gathering of four artists who would each go on to contribute greatly to the seismic shift in popular music in the late 1950s.

Johnny Cash Handwritten Set List Ex Sotheby’s
Set list handwritten by Johnny Cash himself, one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. Piece appears to be a working set list, as 6 songs are crossed out and 10 are marked with an X. Songs are separated into two columns, songs he would play with the Tennessee 3 and songs he would play with the full band. The Tennessee 3 side contains one more song and many more early hits, including “Folsom”, “I Walk the Line” and “Ring of Fire”. The list was most likely written in 1994 or 1995 when the Tennessee 3 briefly came back together. Date can also be estimated by the handwriting and release dates of the songs listed, including Kris Krostofferson’s “Why Me” (written as “Why Me Lord”), which Cash featured on his album “American Recordings” in 1994. Popular songs from the list include Cash’s first single, “Hey Porter”, “Cry Cry Cry”, “Folsom Prison Blues” (written as simply “Folsom”) and the iconic “Ring of Fire”. Comes with original Sotheby’s auction card which reads: “Property from the Estate of Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash”. List is written on white, wide-ruled school paper and has one vertical and one horizontal fold. All songs written in black ink except “Hey Porter” in blue. Measures 7.5″ x 10.5″. Very good condition.
