Johnny Cash’s story of redemption couldn’t be told without mention of Folsom, the inspiration behind one of his greatest songs, Folsom Prison Blues. When Johnny recorded a live album for the inmates, outsiders, and outlaws at Folsom Prison in 1968, it signaled a rebirth of his career.
The art installations that can be found on the Trail are a fitting tribute an amazing musician, and the man who became synonymous with Folsom. The Johnny Cash Art Trail is Folsom’s way of paying homage to the Man, the Myth, and the Legend that is Johnny Cash.
The Johnny Cash Art Trail Experience is Folsom’s ultimate tribute to the Man In Black himself; a larger-than-life exhibit honoring America’s favorite Outlaw and music’s most legendary rebel: Johnny Cash.
