"Women's a cappella songs from the Parchman Penitentiary Library of Congress field recordings, 1936 and 1939"
its some real deep shit
Hey Andrew Schrock. You got MP3's of this? That track "Psychadelic City" sounds interesting.
passing his lyricks through a pen to his attorney or something
Post an LP that was recorded in prison, but once the label heard it they opted for something a little less frightening.

File Under: A book written by a jobless heroin addict detailing his experiences of being raped in prison, paid for by his prostitute girlfriend (who, when told he couldn't afford to publish his book, asked "how much would it cost?" On hearing the reply, she said, "wait here" and went into the parking lot of her by-the-week motel and earned the "seed money"); Outlaw Press raers.
It cost a lot to look this crippled, and it's already out of fashion
just a story here, no scans. but UPHEAVAL from wisconsin recorded a full lp's worth of material in prison. pretty much just killer funk and soul, all tunes were over 5 minutes long. they had pressed a 45 from the session of the tune "paradise lost" which one lucky fellow actually found years ago. the rest of the material was recorded and mastered to cassette tape?? sound quality is tough, sounds like a band rehearsing in a cell. the 25 copies of the 45 were pressed up in the basement of the prison.
Marvin Santiago recorded live from the Municipal prison of Bayamon.
And although I don't know if he recorded an LP while in prison, but he defintalety recorded a lot of songs in there, and no prison musician thread would be complete without him:
I don't think long-playing albums had been INVENTED when Leadbelly was alive. Less'n somebody compiled all his jail recordings posthumously.
No one has mentioned the Moments' album that was recorded at a women's prison...too bad there were no shots of the inmates anywhere on the cover.
Peace
Great album, Steve Fisk did the tracks on this one.
Not sure if this was recorded in jail. Theres another one that is though that has the beach boys pet sounds font (couldn't find a pic) As you can imagine its the most lo-fi thing ever as I can't imagine anyone wanting to get too close to crazy Charlie.
