A few years ago, I swear I heard a version of Folsom Prison Blues that I have not been able to find since. I thought it was from the movie "Walk the Line" when he played it in the Air Force hanger, but I have just watched the entire movie this past weekend and that wasn't it.
The version I'm thinking of is vocals and a single electric guitar. It's much slower than the original and very dark sounding - none of the "chugging" rhythm that the original had. I think the guitar is mostly playing slow, single notes at a time, very few chords if any.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Every few years it gets into my head and I'm never able to find a recording or video of it anywhere.

Have you scanned Youtube or Wiki? There's PLENTY of Cash lovers out there, surely there's a website somewhere that has it...
Lemonchili is a music guy here, give him a holler. Or, we have a GREAT independent music store here in Knoxville called "The Disc Exchange"- look them up online, mebbe give them a call. When I lived closer to them, I'd love wasting an afternoon there just sampling everything I found...

No. I can't find a copy of it on youtube, but the scene I was thinking of was just him in an aircraft hangar when he was still in the air force, sitting on a chair and working out the tune. But it's not the right version because he's playing an acoustic version and being very quiet while doing it. The version I'm thinking of is definitely electric and louder/more powerful than that scene was.
Who knows - maybe I dreamt the damn thing and I need to be the one to work it out and record it.

Sometime's our holiday get togethers involve a conversation like this: There this guy, that played in this movie ...that same movie where his co-star was in that other movie where he starred with that other dude that was married to that girl from from that old commercial...
