"På Österåker" ("At Österåker") is a live album by country singer Johnny Cash released on Columbia Records in 1973. The album features Cash's concert at the Österåker Prison in Sweden held on October 3, 1972. Its predecessors in concept are the more notable "At San Quentin" and "At Folsom Prison". Unlike the aforementioned, "På Österåker" does not contain any of Cash's most well-known songs; it does, however, include a version of Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee". "Orleans Parish Prison" was released as a single, faring rather poorly on the charts.

Rerelease

På Österåker was rereleased in Sweden only during the latter part of 2007. The album differs significantly from the original. Orleans Parish Prison is a completely different song, with a new verse added and no fiddle. San Quentin was recorded with Cash replacing San Quentin with Österåker which was greatly appreciated by the inmates.
