Which Johnny Cash album was recorded inside Sweden's Österåker Prison in 1972?

The Johnny Cash album recorded inside Sweden’s Österåker Prison in 1972 was På Österåker.

Cash performed the concert at Österåker Prison on October 3, 1972, and Columbia Records released the resulting live album in January 1973. The Swedish title translates roughly as “At Österåker,” identifying the venue rather than describing a studio project.

The album belongs to the prison-concert tradition associated with Cash’s At Folsom Prison and At San Quentin. Unlike those more famous American recordings, På Österåker was made during Cash’s international touring career and features a set focused largely on songs that were less familiar to mainstream listeners. It includes his version of Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee.”

A common mix-up is confusing the album with Cash’s better-known prison records. The title is not Silver, Ragged Old Flag, or The Holy Land; those are separate Cash releases. “Orleans Parish Prison,” another prison-themed Cash title, was issued as a single from this album and later charted modestly on the country singles list.
