1967
performance inside Folsom County Prison marked an important time in the country
legend’s career. Decades later, the prison is paying tribute to Cash’s
history-making concert and recordings with the installment of a new statue in
his likeness.
Nicknamed
“Man In Black”, the 40-foot-tall statue depicts Cash, covered with
cutouts in the shape of flames. During sunset, the sky makes the statue appear
as though his likeness is lit up with fiery glow. Artist Gary Tillery of The Fine Art
Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany is currently working on bringing the statue to life. The
Johnny Cash Trail is a 2.5-mile path that travels along the edge of the
Folsom prison property. The trail will eventually feature eight art
pieces, including Tillery’s, that will pay tribute to the Man in Black and his
lasting legacy. When it’s completed,
Tillery hopes to unveil the statue sometime in 2018, depending on the amount of
funding the project receives. We’ll keep you updated where you can donate your
“cash” to the project.
