Behind Bars
The blues and country music both have many major themes in common - love, moonshine whiskey, fast cars and fastwomen. When two or more of these factors combine, it tends to steer us inevitably into the territory that Dostoyevsky once famously defined as 'crime and punishment' . From solitary confinement to death row, from the chain gang to the gallows, the prison experience provides ripe material for songs that tell the saddest of stories. Sometimes those stories end happily - the faithful girlfriend waiting at the prison gates for the prisoner granted parole... but more often than not, end up either back in jail, or else a cold, cold grave.
