Start Jamming...
Johnny Cash is a folk singer who can reach out to his audience and become the
Western hero before their eyes.
In this film he sings to an audience many of
whom have known violence at first hand.
Not glamorized as in the myth of the
Golden West, but real, dangerous, and bringing retribution.
They are the inmates [Eb] of one of the
toughest prisons in [E] America, San Quentin [N] in California, where the wagons stopped.
The past and the present come together when Johnny Cash enters this jail.
