INMATES at Folsom prison are singing the blues after bosses cancelled a concert to mark the 40th anniversary of country legend Johnny Cash's famous performance there. The gig has been cancelled over security concerns and claims by officials that organizers kept changing their demand.
It was set to be staged in the same cafeteria at the San Francisco jail where the late Cash thrilled a raucous crowd on Janaury 13, 1968.
The show on Sunday was to streamed worldwide over the internet, with a line up including Cash's original drummer W.S. "Fluke" Holland.
The "Jonny Cash at Folsom Prison" live album recorded at the original concert was heralded as the major breakthrough in Cash's career.
It topped the charts for two years and sold more than two million copies.
