Outlaw Country Meets Rock Rebellion in Brandon Wayne’s Latest Johnny Cash Cover

With his signature fusion of outlaw country with hard rock energy, Long Beach-based artist Brandon Wayne has unveiled his latest release, “Folsom Prison (Fuck You Brandon Wayne)”.

The single is a thunderous reimagining of the Johnny Cash classic, complete with stomping drums, gritty vocals, and an unexpected chant that flips self-loathing into self-liberation,

Part homage, part rebellion, the track leans fully into imperfection, recorded live with all the rough edges intact. Brandon’s distinctive growl carries the weight of regret and freedom alike, while the shouted “Fuck you, Brandon Wayne” transforms the song into a cathartic, punch-in-the-gut moment.

Produced by Wayne and Andres Alzate, the track features Ian LeBlanc on drums and Tobin Gomez on fiddle.

Wayne’s last single, “Bad Habits,” was covered by Wide Open Country and Jammerzine, and his performances are known for their ferocity and charm in equal measure.
