For educational purposes only. This is a scene from the film "Walk The Line" in which Johnny Cash (played by Joaquin Phoenix) performs Folsom Prison Blues in front of legendary Sam Philips in Sun Studios.
I like the moment at 4:56 when he turn to the guitarist. This expression of "Can you pick up from here, we have to make this work, please find some way". A man who is down to his last straw. Good acting.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Carl Perkins was indeed a legendary man! However that is NOT Carl Perkins being portrayed there. That is LUTHER Perkins, no relation to Carl. ;)
@John S Very nice, dramatic hollywood scene. However not real. Never happened. Johnny Cash never debuted ''Folsom Prison'' at his audition for Sam Phillips, nor did they argue about God. lol Sam DID say he couldn't market gospel, however, Cash then brought out his original song at the time ''Hey Porter!'' which impressed Sam, because the lyrical writing was clever, and quite ''grown up'' sounding to him, versus all the lovey dovey stuff constantly being sung about in both hillbilly and blues up to that point. But it wasn't ''Folsom Prison'' with the dramatic scene looking at Luther to make up something because they weren't prepared. Although 'cute' in the movie, not based on reality. It was actually ''Hey Porter!'' His very first single at Sun Records was ''Cry Cry Cry'' bw / "Hey Porter!". Johnny Cash wrote about life, as well as love, but Johnny Cash's original writing is what won Sam over in the end. Just not like how the movies portrays it. lol
@@NMagChiTown right yes my mistake. I should've remembered since I'm a HUGE fan of Luther's playing and to me he is the OG when it comes to palm muting a note or chord. The guy in the film was so awesome.
Joaquin Phoenix could go on tour & draw in just as many people as any other music artist. In fact, I haven’t been to a concert since since 1997 & I would definitely go see him. I miss this style of music so much. Why hasn’t this happened yet...

Sam Phillips has had enormous and lasting influence on popular music. The record company he founded recorded what many people regard as the first rock and roll song, by Ike Turner, “Rocket 88”. He recorded songs for people at pivotal times in their careers, including Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. This one man changed the world; he came along at the right time, the right place, and had the wisdom to see an opportunity.
In 1991 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame held an awards ceremony for the first rock and roll song ever recorded. Ike Turner' daughter accepted the award because Ike was in jail.
Being a guitarist of 18 years I can't imagine the anxiety the other players had when John started playing a song they had never heard, especially in front of a record exec 😑
I'm a guitarist too and I feel that! At 4:09 you can see him turn to the bass-player and having a silent conversion about the chords / key of the song, I'm not a lip-reader but it looks like he is mouthing an "A" which makes sense as the key as far as I know is in E (I IV V progression) which would make the chords E A B7.
@@oggelicious2716 Yup, a simple I-IV-V7 progression. It's probably THE most used chord progression in the last 100 years. Countless songs have been written using that progression. Any experienced musician should be able to pick it up in an instant.
“…or would you sing something real, something you felt cuz I’m telling you that’s the kinda stuff that people wanna hear” simply brilliant writing and the delivery gives chills down your spine, I come back to hear this every once in a while it speaks to the very core of my soul
When he breaks the news and she hugs him, you can see for a split second in her eyes that she's confused - confused because she didn't believe he could actually do it. No wonder their relationship didn't last. It's these subtle hints that make a movie memorable.
Yeah because a actress's nailed it....lol....more like his constant drug use, being away from home all the time on tour, his constant adultery's with various woman and his love affair with June Carter had to do with the breaking up. BTW despite the movies innuendos about the song "walk the line" having to do with June Carter, Johnny actually wrote it about Vivian shorty after they married.
@@jamescasey3408 she was being like that before the drugs and women. Him being on tour, getting money for a house and paying off all the bills and it still wasn’t enough for her.
He is the catalyst that all of this scene triggers off of. Without his part, none of this would impact us the way it does. It’s as much his scene as it is Joaquin’s.
This is my favourite version of this song. I love the deep, slow beginning and the gradual build up to a tremendous song that just blows you away. I wish this was the official version that Mr. Cash created.
I know Joaquin Phoenix did a wonderful job here. I also wanted to point out that the actor who played the exec. did it beautifully! His monologue and reactions while listening were spot on!
Mrs Cash, Vivian Liberto deserved much more respect, both in the movie and real life. She truly was massively supportive to Cash's career and accomplishments.
My Grandfather loved Johnny Cash, my Father loved Johnny Cash, and I love Johnny Cash, if you don't don't think Johnny Cash was one of the most amazing musicians, and one of the coolest dudes that ever existed then your missing the point entirely........
I love how in these biopics Johnny Cash, Buddy holly, Elvis, they all had that moment in the recording booth where the producer tells them to come up with a new sound because nobody wants to hear the old stuff again.
This movie and scene is so damn legendary that I need to rethink how saving thyself will come about. And this time we have on earth is only defined by what we can, feel, see, touch, smell, hear, listen within and it's only god that will save him, save his soul but if you don't believe it and can't see it then you better go and touch it to save your smell. How Cash brought it home was one of the greatest pieces of musical history. Not the opera or some concert with Hugh Jackman or an audition or mozart. This is real raw brilliance that will never ever be forgotten. And if this actually happened it was one of the greatest mentorships. Bass was a defining factor too
That first verse I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die That grabs you for the rest of that Iconic song..Nothing like it.!Still gets people tappin there feet.🎸🎼
Feelings come through the keyboard when I listen to such rhythm and my eyes allow to fill in the missing pieces to see amazement. Talent is subjective, until you wear black with your heart on your sleave and sing like God is listening - then its simply Devine : ) what a great pic of a an enormous legend!
How he didn’t win an Oscar for just that scene alone is a crime. Just like Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday or George C Scott as Patton, Phoenix was born to play Johnny Cash.
Just to want to remind everyone of the genius of Sam Phillips to spot talent. If America had saints, he would be on the Mount Rushmore of American saints.
Sam Philips never took some serious credits of his contribution to Rock'n'Roll.His musical perspicacity is responsible for anything that happened ever after!
Oscar should have gone to Phoenix. I've always loved Johnny Cash, but after seeing the movie I bought a CD of his very early music and I thought I was listenig to Joaquin Phoenix singing!! He absolutely nailed it.
4:18-Ole boy started seeing something there. Anyone good at what they've worked hard to be good at loves seeing that look coming their way from someone that knows what good is. It never gets old.

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Bob Rock very talented but on my list he is 11-15. But he is mostly a sound engineer. Example: Michael Buble David Foster was the producer and Rock was the sound engineer.
Ironically enough the one song he chose to sing in real life right before he died was a Nine Inch Nails cover of Hurt, and it's the single most emotional song that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Absolutely brilliant scene.The look on Roberts face when he knows he has just potentially found another Jem in the rough.And the sound of the bass is just perfect for the song.
I liked this movie so much I've seen it twice at the cinema and bought the DVD back in the day. This is my favorite scene in the movie. Every delivery was perfect. And Phoenix is actually a hell of a singer.
One of my favorite movie scenes. Not just the performances but how that message needs to be sent to all aspiring artists regardless of field. Can you make it as a superficial face? Yes. However, "making it" requires at least these 2 things. 1) Have something truly unique to have a better shot. Don't look, sound, perform like everyone else. 2) A business (e.g., music industry), doesn't care about your real beliefs. It only cares who you can make a believer and sell something. If you don't have to "sell out" and still sell out shows, you hit the jackpot.
Millions of people respect Johnny Cash, but most importantly, he managed to open his traumatized spirit and ALLOWED himself to be respected by others. I pray that he BELIEVED he was DESERVING of respect before he passed. Love forever to Johnny Cash, his family and his legacy.
I've worked with a really old-school manager, and over several months he gave me a very similar pitch. The listeners don't care about your brains, technique, or good intentions -- they want to hear something that grabs them. Everyone who wants to play music in public, pop or jazz or rock or country or classical, needs to know how to get and keep their audience's attention.
Joaquin Phoenix could go on tour & draw in just as many people as any other music artist. In fact, I haven’t been to a concert since since 1997 & I would definitely go see him. I miss this style of music so much.

Anything Joaquin touches turns to gold, he literally had Cash down to a tee this whole movie.
I only wish we got to hear more singing & him at the top of his game & less of the downward spiral. It was too short lived in the movie.
4:57 I love when Joaquin Phoenix looks back at Buster Scruggs like "I hope you got a solo in there somewhere".

When Sam asked for raw emotion Joaquin's acting became magnificent
At 4:08 the guitarist turns to bass player and whispered "A" as in A chord. Such a good subtlety in the background.
Then gave him the nod when he was in. Brilliant!
Jeez, the chills in the end part. Such a fantastic actor. Stunning
Some artists need to be nurtured, some need to be challenged, Johnny Cash every time he got challenged he came through.
Dallas Roberts deserves Best Supporting Actor for this one scene. Tell me different.
Folsom prison has been my ringtone for over 20 years maybe cause I’ve been a railway track worker for over 30 years!

Philip Seymour Hoffman for “Capote.”
I love this movie, watch it every year back again

Thank you for uploading the entire scene. Before this they would just cut off the scene halfway through and we never got to see it finish.
Nobody should complain about his voice sounding different from Cash. NOBODY can sing like Cash.
What I love about this scene is the fact that if I was lying in a gutter, hit by a truck, I would want to hear a johnny cash song.
I love how the guys in the background are like “shit wtf do we do? What’s he playing?” But they pulled it off.
Sam isn't being a dick, he's just keeping it real and getting to the point. Refreshing as hell.

Thank you Sam Philips for bringing Elvis all the others to the world..our hearts & our love lives...amen brother....
