Summer Vacay 2024: Johnny Cash At The Carousel

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

This is the original copy for the previous release of this episode on 12/26/21:

"This episode is the story of a lost live album by the great Johnny & June Carter Cash, recorded shortly after the legendary Folsom Prison Live album. The contrast in energy of these two nights is stark, and part of the discussion. The mood the night of the show was appropriately laid back for San Francisco.

The Carousel Ballroom, which would shortly become the Fillmore (West), hosted the April 24, 1968 concert, and tape was rolling, as was the case when Owlsley Stanley was at the sound board. He recorded most shows that he mixed, which gives purpose to his foundation's modern mission of preservation. This Carter-Cash album could do a lot of good in that area.

Markus and Ray talk with William "Hawk" Semins and Pete Bell of The Owlsley Stanley Foundation, about this show, and their ongoing efforts to preserve this audio legacy!

Then they're joined by John Carter Cash, legendary producer and artist, and son of John and June! He gives the family legacy's view of this show, among other things!

An amazing way to explore this unexpected audio treat and to mark our 150th episode!!!

Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!

Thanks to our sponsors, Crooked Eye Brewery for their support of the podcast!"
