Soundtrack by Johnny Cash?

"Folsom Prison Blues" gave Johnny Cash his first top-10 country hit in 1956, and his live concert performance at Folsom—dramatized memorably in the film Walk The Line—gave his flagging career a critical jump-start in 1968. But the prison with which Johnny Cash was most closely associated wasn't Folsom, it was San Quentin, a maximum-security penitentiary just outside of San Francisco. San Quentin is where Cash played his first-ever prison concert on January 1, 1958—a concert that helped set Merle Haggard, then a 20-year-old San Quentin inmate, on the path toward becoming a country music legend.

But, I digress. Ol' Merle and D Rat will prolly both tell you they are Bakersfield Boys; home of the Bakersfield Indians. The team died of grief right after I moved out of town.
