Reissues

With <i>Destination Jail, Vol. 2</i> Bear Family Records offers another intriguing collection of blues and rhythm &amp; blues obscurities and classics from the '40s to the '60s about life behind bars. It deals with the various elements of the US justice system: prison = county farm, chain gang; jail and penitentiary. Among the better-known highlights are Jailhouse Rock by Frankie Lymon, the heartbreaking Please Mr. Jailer by Wynona Carr, the Prisoner's Song by Fats Domino - in this case a classic from the Anglo-Celtic tradition - and the tongue-in-cheek Good Morning Judge by Wynonie Harris. An exciting introduction to an important topic of Afro-American roots music, with liner notes by Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber and originals remastered with finesse.
