About This Item
Revered singer Johnny Bragg wrote and recorded classic 1950s R&B hits, such as InchJust Walkin' in the RainInch (as lead vocalist of the Prisonaires) and InchRollin' StoneInch (fronting the Marigolds), while serving time at the Tennessee State Penitentiary. For years, the recordings collected here lay dormant and unheard in a garden shed in Nashville. Unearthed and assembled to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's acclaimed exhibit Night Train to Nashville Music City Rhythm & Blues, these cuts are a rich trove encompassing previously unreleased songwriting demos, band rehearsals, and live recordings that, fortunately, Bragg preserved on tape in the 1960s and 1970s. It's a time capsule of classic Nashville R&B, now available for the first time on CD. Album Tracks 1. Take Away the Heartache (Let Me Love Again) 2. She's Mine 3. Is It True, Darlin'? 4.
