JOHNNY CASH FOLSOM PRISON BLUES REACTION

[@christinawoolley6206]

Cash never shot anyone but he bonded with the inmates through his music. He fought tooth and nail to play for those men. 🖤

[@GorillaMansoon]

“Shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” was the first gangsta rap.

[@maovslandlords9244]

YES!

[@Strike1stCobraKaiTV]

😂😂😂

[@dashiesbbgurl]

Yes! From the man in black. "Looks like you're going to a funeral." "Maybe I am" 🤣🔥

[@tessasnow]

There’s a movie about him called Walk the Line starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon plays June Carter. He was great in concert.

[@mikem957]

LMAO at your facial expression when he sang that line about shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die. 😂😂😂😂😂 It's a great song though. He was saying that he regretted what he had done. No, it's not about him.

[@jmanganella123]

My thoughts exactly lol great reaction....

[@jimekstrom407]

He never shot anyone. He developed a bond with prisoners and did a few concerts in prisons.

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

That’s beautiful

[@sharonburcham25]

He was actually singing to inmates hhaha

[@SaltyPirate71]

"Those people keep moving and that's what tortures me." The lyric where you said it went left, was about being tortured by knowing people outside prison are still free.

[@Tijuanabill]

God bless Johnny Cash for bringing a little joy to people living out their punishment. Nobody ever thinks of them, even if the time they are serving is deserved.

[@lewashby8662]

johnny would wipe the floor with most of those wannabe bad boys of today

[@darkomtobia]

He inspired a young Merle Haggard who was a prisoner Cash entertained. Mama Tried is his most associated song.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

A good movie about the life of Johnny Cash is called Walk the Line

[@pamwestenbarger3195]

Loved that movie

[@ingobordewick6480]

Great performance by Joaquin Phoenix

[@sharonburcham25]

Johnny cash!! Cocaine blues!! Great song❤️Tennessee

[@tessasnow]

It’s good but I prefer George Thorogood’s version

[@foxfire1229]

Yes, when he breaks the glass of dirty prison drinking water

[@raenellefisher8514]

Johnny loved the downtrodden, with all their imperfections and scars.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Love Johnny so much, you should react to Man In Black

[@barbarafrazier3242]

Yes, the movie Walk The Line is about the life of Johnny Cash and pretty accurate. He’s the first big celebrity to perform and record an album performing for prison inmates.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Johnny Cash Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis started out at the same record company... Sun Records in Memphis.. did you go there?

[@TONY-qj1nk]

I have been there ! Awesome ! Not far from Graceland.

[@SteveInTheOC]

What’d he say?? 😂 i love your reactions 👍

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

Thank you so much

[@jefflee2698]

A boy named Sue

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

Funniest song ever

[@Blues444]

According to Michael Streissguth, the cheering from the audience following the line "But I shot a man in Reno / just to watch him die" was added in post-production. According to a special feature on the DVD release of the 2005 biopic Walk the Line, the prisoners avoided cheering at any of Cash's comments about the prison itself, fearing reprisal from guards. - Wikipdia

[@patticriss2238]

Johnny cash had a huge prison ministry even before it had a name. He wrote so many songs from the stories he heard from inmates. This performance was at a prison. Folsom.

[@garyphillips3926]

👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 have you done "A Boy Named Sue?" ✌❤

[@Joe-zk7ps]

He was sending a message of sorrow to those who made bad decisions and ended up in prison. He was playing to inmates in Fulsom Prison.

[@equestrianwhotravels]

One of my all time fav artist. You must check out “Gods Gonna Cut You Down”, you won’t regret it!

[@yasminsworld4304]

You must react to Jackson - Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash

[@vallidavis6914]

If you want one that really will grab you, try The Ballad of Ira Hayes, true story...

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Yes. Ballad of ira hayes. Green green grass of home is also good

[@raymonddevera2796]

You need to react to Cocaine Blues

[@phoenixmichaels]

The music is great... but when Johnny starts telling the story, your eyes get wide.

[@grandnagus5851]

He was in jail multiple times, never in prison though.

[@equestrianwhotravels]

Also check out “Cocaine Blues”!!

[@thomedwards1919]

another awesome reaction Jayy. Johnny Cash the man in black oh yeah.

[@stumpwatercoffee2926]

you should listen to Man in Black, that pretty much sums up his person he was the voice for the people without one.

[@maxis5650]

Definitely!

[@thomaskoch3054]

I just wanted to say thank you for your reactions I absolutely love love love your reactions

[@Cashcrop54]

Great performance by Johnny. The inmates enjoyed as well. Loved your reaction.

[@anthonys239]

You should def watch the movie about him. Called walk the line. Awesome movie!!

[@spacecatboy2962]

did you know the elvis dated johnnys wife june

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Johnny Cash wrote this song while he was in the military. Cash hated being in the military and used that as his motivation for 'Folsom Prison Blues.' The original recording is much slower in its tempo. While recording the songs at Folsom Prison, the band sped the songs up to help keep the prisoners more engaged in the music. By the way, Jayy, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley were good friends, and were on the same label together in their early days, Sun Records. In 1956 Cash and Presley, along with Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, did an impromptu jam recording session while still with Sun Records. The sessions weren't released until 1981 under the title of 'Million Dollar Quartet.' Some of the songs were pretty good. Definitely something you should seek out for yourself sometime.

[@remohio]

The Man Comes Around or Man in Black

[@stephenleslie5486]

One of Johnny Cash's best songs is "SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN" check it out.

[@ethanstewart83]

Do Orange Blossom Special by Johnny Cash

[@joemcascio]

Watch the VH1 Storytellers with him and Willie Nelson. He wrote this one, and he tried to imagine what the most evil reason a man could have to kill a person.

[@mikeengland6475]

I know t's been awhile but I wanted to suggest Home Free's version of this song. I think you will like it.

[@CoolFellaProductions]

I love your content so freaking much!!

[@kentclark6420]

The 'Tennessee Flat Top Box' is really catchy, too. 'I Still Miss Someone' is very nostalgic. 'Were You There', is an amazing gospel number with incredible vocals. Some choices for you. And 'I've Been Everywhere' is classic good ol' fun!

[@robertdall1381]

React to when the man comes around

[@traviswilliams1401]

I know I'm late to this but you really should check out his song Hurt you will cry I do every single time

[@foxfire1229]

I love the part live when he smashes a drinking glass of water because it's brown

[@loriodell1507]

Did a year and eight months. Sucked. This song says it all.

[@CID1973]

React to "The man in black" by Johnny Cash ;)

[@dvcasey1]

[@PaulChapmanPcTech]

Probably they left the extra time not to get copyright banned

[@lynnfinch5220]

[@DanJunkins]

[@martha0436]

[@TheAcworthdude]

Need to react to the Entire Album

[@vickimingus9281]

he played a lot for ppl in jail

[@martha0436]

life girl life

[@GameStop-li5hp]

Barritone

[@tomaroni6670]

Johnny did spend a little time in jail for drugs but just for processing...he wrote this song while stationed in Germany in the US Air Force...he said he felt like he was in prison but never was. My opinion is the words of this song does reflect on his life experiences up to the time he wrote it but not literally. Folsom Prison Blues was his first recorded song...there is a movie about Johnny Cash's life before he married June called Walk the Line....explains a lot..I recommend it if you have any curiosity about the man Johnny Cash.

[@lynnfinch5220]

Yes he served time in fulsom prison

[@olssong7941]

No

[@montiecalvin2382]

Johnny was inspired by to write the song in 1953,after seeing the film Inside the walls of Folsom Prison.He never served time,he wrote it while he was in the Air Force in Germany,and saw the Folsom Prison film, on the Armed forces network.

[@zannemarie6591]

Johnny wrote this song when he was in the military in 1953 in Germany. They saw a movie about Folsom Prison and it inspired him to write about how the prisoners must feel. The line that he killed a man just to watch him die was because he was trying to think of the worst reason a person could be there. But the main point of the song for him was to show the humanity of the people in such a horrible place. He was horrified by what he saw and he poured it into the song.

[@texadan314]

I have watched several Johnny Cash reactions but this is the first time I heard the iconic "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" he always opened his performances with. I miss that.

[@GorillaMansoon]

If you do more Johnny Cash, check out “Long Black Veil”.

[@andreasmith9809]

You should react to oh death by Jen Titus. It's a fantastic song.

[@delorespetree207]
