WEEK 7
This week you will explore the song, "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES", originally written by Johnny Cash in 1953 while stationed in Germany serving in the Air Force. Cash was inspired to pen the song after seeing the Hollywood drama film “Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison.” It was first recorded in 1955 for his debut studio album Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar! Even though the song has the word 'Blues' in the title, the style of the song is actually a combination of Folk and Country music, with a train track like rhythm that became one of Cash's signature styles of playing guitar.
