Johnny Cash - Peace in the Valley - Live at San Quentin (Good Sound Quality)

[@LuckyDogDave]

This wonderful video is included in Dave’s Basement Tracks Peace Edition no. 323. Thanks for posting it.

[@tylerlucas1936]

These old songs have a soul that today's christian music severely lacks. They just sing it, the old gospel singers felt it and sent it to all of us!

[@froter1]

I met Johnny in Pensacola 1969 ... he was staying at the same Holiday Inn as we were ... we ending up playing in his room with acoustic guitars and just singing away ... this is one we sang ❤️

Dear sir, you are a really really lucky man!

[@jamescarrington5521]

I once had this album as a kid, about 8 or 9 years old....my mom's friend, Peggy Carpenter, gave it to me....along with so many other great albums, like Melanie Safka's "Candles in the Rain" album (finally got to meet her a few years ago!) ALL of The Four Seasons' albums (she had many of those) and so many other albums that she gave me....Lovin' Spoonful, Aretha Franklin (I actually got to meet her, too!) I think there was a Tom Jones album in there, on and on. Peggy was always plugged in to whatever was currently hot, of course, but this was a woman who, if she had an extra 10 or 15 minutes in her day, would stop at a church, light a candle for someone, often recently passed, but definitely not always, and she'd pray. She's gone now, but she will never be forgotten to me. This brings back so many memories.

Wishing peace in the valley for John, June, the Carter family, the band, the prisoners, the sound and film crews, for me and for you!

[@conchfritters01]

This is my favorite version of peace in the valley; Johnny’s voice, Carl Perkins guitar in the background, the Carter family coming in like angels in the refrain - just perfect.

Not only are Johnny’s songs great and nice to listen to they also strengthen you in hard times and remind you the Lord’s with us all and we’re all blessed ✝️

This song reminds me of my grandfather. He died in 07’. He was from the same era as Johnny. A fan of Cash. My name is Johnny Ray. Never thought to ask how I got my name. Miss you papaw.

[@kennydobbins9644]

I am religious and I agree.

[@capncrunchling1895]

I am with you Michael, but whether from a religious perspective or not, that has no bearing on how this song affects somebody-this one goes deep, and it makes no difference as to how one feels about any religion, why should it? It's just a very fine spiritual, adherence to a religion doesn't mean a thing, really--how could you not react to the imagery of this song, and Cash's (and Carters) rendering of this powerhouse tune?

[@LeeFred78]

For some reason, this song got stuck in my head, and I bet I haven't heard it since the 1960's. My parents had this album in their collection, and my Mom would play it now and then. Came here on KZbin, and this version was the one I was looking for...Folsom Prison! Thanks for posting this and the memories.

[@IloveJesus221]

Great song written by Thomas Dorsey, the father of gospel music. Johnny did it justice.

[@finlarg]

Thank you! Since I put these together I've bought the Legacy double CD/DVD box set which includes some great songs by the Carter Family, the Statler Brothers and Carl Perkins which were not on the original album. One day I'd like to try to upload the whole concert as a mixture of slideshow and video footage. I have software problems though, so it will have to wait till I can afford to sort my computer out...

[@stillrestless99]

Yes... Elvis... his performance of Peace in the Valley on the Ed Sullivan Show is my favorite.

[@psychobackpacker8144]

Johnny Cash was one of my dad's favorite country singers. We used to watch his t.v. show. One thing I liked about his show was that he would have pop and rock bands perform. Although my dad liked Johnny's music, his favorite guitarist at the time was Chet Atkins.

I prefer this key and speed from this recording over any other. Just lovely.

[@markandmichelledachshundlo716]

It was as early at 1971 when I first heard both the Folsom and San Quentin albums. 99% of us generally have our first introduction to music by what our parents listen to. Mine liked Country and some Rock of the late 1950's. Even though I have an older brother that not only introduced me to a lot of my lifetime influences in hard and classic rock as well as placed my first electric guitar in my hands when I was 7, and most of my music collection ranges from Classic Hard Rock and Heavy Metal to Texas, Chicago, and Memphis Blues, Johnny Cash I never considered true country. Around 1990 or '91 while in the military, he and June Carter-Cash were at a State Fair where my wife and I were stationed. I will never forgive myself for not going to see them.

[@markandmichelledachshundlo716]

Glad to hear. It's "ironic" that as a teenager, MOST of my friends and people I jammed w/ or our friends (and sadly me) did NOT like "country music". It was not really the music or artist, it was the "locals" that acted like we were all going to hell for listening to everything from Zeppelin, Sabbath, Ozzy, W.A.S.P., and KISS to Ted Nugent, etc. Going to concerts from Dallas, Shreveport, L.A., Salt Lake City, Houston, no matter, there was a faction that always seemed to be there carrying a cross and spitting at us! The very antagonist of "being a Christian" . Hell, they even ran a story on a Sunday in our local paper of how we were "worshipping Satan" I kid you not! Funny how in later years, Johnny Cash got with several "rock" musicians. I believe Mr. Cash was not into labels, he was just Johnny Cash! Best of luck to you! 30+ years later and still have Johnny Cash as well as Sabbath and others in my collection that I listen to regularly.

[@triplucid3563]

“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work... And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther, and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow.” ― Woody Guthrie

@psychobackpacker Chet Atkins was one of the best finger pickers ever.... he inspired Tommy Emmanuel who probably IS one of the worlds finest guitar pickers. Cash, by his own admission, wasn't a virtuoso on the guitar, but boy could he sing, and what a backing band he had! I was blown away when I heard folsom prison blues on the radio in 2002. I HAD to find out more about this music. Soon I had a stack of Johnny Cash CD's AND my first guitar!

Fabulous! Thank you for doing this. I'm looking forward to that peace he sings about. Johnny sure sings it great. What a fabulous idea to put the audio and video together. Thanks. Do you also have The Johnny Cash Show album? That may be the most perfect album ever recorded. It surprised me when I finally realized that it is a spiritual album. It kind of sneaks up on you. I love it so much that I wanted to add some more "story songs" to it... but nothing fits... except Johnny's favorite Kris Kristofferson song: Here comes that rainbow again. I think that all of the songs on the album came from the teevee show, so... somebody could put that together as a playlist. Wouldn't that be fabulous. Thanks again for the great work. Ed

[@finlarg]

stillrestless99 You're welcome! I do have the CD somewhere I think. Does it have a couple of medleys starting with 'ride this train' ?

[@stillrestless99]

Yes it does. Starts with Sunday Morning Coming Down, which confused me for a long time. But Johnny's explanation (not on the phonograph record) that it reminds him of where he came from. Now I get it - me too. Ends with One Solitary Life of Jesus - "Here was a Man..." It is an amazing album. Thanks. Ed
