Description

The album featured Cash and other musicians and singers including W.S. Holland, Marshall Grant, Bob Wootton, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins, Tommy Cash and the Carter Family. Absent from the show was Cash's wife June Carter Cash, who was home pregnant with their son John Carter Cash, a fact referenced during the recording.

As with most Cash shows, the genres covered ran the gamut from country music to rockabilly to even some folk rock. Similarly to the extended releases of both the San Quentin and At Folsom Prison that had been made available around the same time, Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden includes numbers performed by Perkins, the Statlers and the Carters while Johnny was offstage. During this particular show, however, Cash introduced his father Ray and also Shel Silverstein, who wrote Cash's biggest pop hit, "A Boy Named Sue". Silverstein is the subject of some good-natured ribbing by Cash as he performs an uncensored version of "A Boy Named Sue". At the time of the recording, The Johnny Cash Show was in production and a popular TV series; its weekly "Come Along and Ride This Train" segment is referenced in the introduction to "As Long as the Grass Shall Grow."

'Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden es el séptimo álbum en vivo del cantante country Johnny Cash que fue grabado en diciembre de 1969 en el Madison Square Garden en la ciudad de Nueva York, pero no fue lanzado hasta el 2002. El CD fue grabado a solo 4 de su mundialmente exitoso CD At San Quentin haya sido lanzado, por lo cual probablemente no haya sido lanzado antes. Al igual que en todos los álbumes en vivo que Cash hizo en ese periodo de su carrera, él fue ayudado por las bandas the Tennessee Three (integrados por W.S. Holland, Marshall Grant y Bob Wooton), the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins y the Carter Family. Se notó en este álbum la ausencia en el show de la esposa de Cash June Carter Cash, quien estuvo embarazada de su único hijo John Carter Cash.
