Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Performance Ranked No. 1

MsMojo gave a top 10 list of the greatest live country music performances. Buck Owens & The Buckaroos placed fifth for their Carnegie Hall performance in 1966. They were the first country band to record an album in the venue.

The second was Dolly Parton saying goodbye to her collaborator Porter Wagoner with "I'll Always Love You." She was ready to step out on her own, but wanted to leave him with the sweet song. The personal song became a hit and gained new life with Whitney Houston's cover.

His time serving in the Air Force in Germany inspired the idea when his unit watched Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison. His drummer gave another reason for his goal. "One thing he liked about playing prisons: If he did something the audience didn't like, they couldn't leave," W.S. "Fluke" Holland said, according to NPR.

The performance was entered into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Lastly, the performance was depicted in 2005's Walk the Line starring Joaquin Phoenixas the country legend.
