This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Background section, this sentence ---> "by the end of the year, his cravings for the drugs had diminished", "cravings" doesn't seem to be the right word. In the Recording section, "Sherley recorded a version of the song, which he passed onto the prison pastor via the recreation director.[11][12].", remove the period after reference 12. In the Reception and impact section, it would be more encyclopedic if "#2" was changed to "number two". Same section, "Nevertheless, the single hit the Billboard Hot 100 on May 25, 1968", "the single hit" sounds very odd, might need to be reworded.

- Does Reference 27 cover all this ---> "Cash opened the shows with a rendition of "Folsom Prison Blues" and complimented the rest of the concert with songs about prison, including "The Wall", "Green, Green Grass of Home", and the gallows humor tune "25 Minutes to Go". The singer also included other songs of despair, such as the Merle Travis coal mining song "Dark as a Dungeon". Following "Orange Blossom Special", Cash included a few "slow, ballad-type songs", including "Send a Picture of Mother" and "The Long Black Veil", and then followed with two novelty songs from his album Everybody's a Nut, "Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog" and "Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart". June Carter joined Cash on stage to perform a pair of duet. After a seven-minute version of "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer", Cash took a break and Carter recited a poem"?
