Wasn`t Merle Haggard in Folsom at this time? I could have sworn I had heard this show was instrumental in his pursuing a music career... Very damned cool picture.

edit: Just went and checked.. I was half right.. Haggard was in San Quentin but this album influenced him to join the prison band there.
