- catalog abstract "Johnny Bragg, a humble musician from rural Tennessee, led a life that reads like a novel. Johnny and his fellow inmates in the 1950's-era R & B music group the Prisonaires had four strikes against them. They were poor, uneducated, imprisoned, and black. They were also largely innocent of their crimes. Their gut-wrenching story is one of courage in the face of impossible odds, and salvation amidst the harsh realities of racial injustice and prison brutality. Championed by then Tennessee governor Frank Clement as an example of the possibility of prison reform, and asked to sing at the Governor's Mansion, the Prisonaires were more than just pioneers who built the foundation of modern R & B and influenced Elvis and Hank Williams. Behind the soulful tenor of their leader, Johnny Bragg, the group was living proof that anyone can survive and overcome nightmarish adversity.--From publisher description.".
