Absolute gem! I just stumbled across this remix by DJ Shadow (who I saw last live month in Oxford - and met!). A must for any fan of the underground scene.

Bob Dylan - Folsom Prison Blues: "I shot a man in Reno/just to watch him die"
A couple of weeks ago I saw the musical Million Dollar Quartet in London's Noël Coward Theatre. The play dramatizes a 1956 recording session made in Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The musicians involved in this recording formed what is widely considered to be the first supergroup; Million Dollar Quartet. It consisted of the musicians Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. My personal favourite of these musicians is Johnny Cash. His track Folsom Prison Blues which is part of the musical soundtrack is a zeitgeist country song; he takes the viewpoint of a jailed man who recalls his crimes, singing ever so casually callous the line "I shot a man in Reno/just to watch him die".
I posted a black and white photograph of Bob Dylan on this blog some time ago, which is one of the top five viewed items on the blog. I have in turn decided to post a very rare Bob Dylan cover of the song, recorded in 1967 on The Basement Tapes.
