1968
Considered some of Johnny Cash's best work, At Folsom Prison is a collection of stories centered around his audience: inmates. He imagines the stories of these men from their perspectives and other songs that might also appeal to them. No one can question if Cash knows his audience
1973
In 1970 Barney Wilen assembled filmmakers, technicians, and musicians to travel to Africa for the purpose of recording the music of pygmy tribes. Two years later in Paris, he created this dark, eccentric effort fusing avant jazz with African rhythms, ambient sounds, and melodies rooted in American blues traditions. Cut with French and African players, this is music with few precedents indulging seemingly extraterrestrial dissonance and earthbound, street funk.
