Early American Crime

My brother-in-law recently created a CD-mix of songs about jails, prisons, and crime for me. I enjoyed listening to it so much that I thought I would reproduce it for Early American Crime.

1. “In The Jail House Now” – Soggy Bottom Boys
2. “Jailhouse Rock” – Elvis Presley (See the video from Last.fm.)
3. “I Shot the Sheriff” – Bob Marley
4. “Folsom Prison Blues” – Johnny Cash
5. “I Fought the Law” – The Clash
6. “Hurricane” – Bob Dylan
7. “I’m Just Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail (Live)” – Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band
8. “Big Railroad Blues” – The Grateful Dead
9. “Jailhouse Blues” – Lightnin’ Hopkins
10. “Sing Sing Prison Blues” – Bessie Smith
11. “Jailbreak” – AC/DC
12. “Halloway Jail” – The Kinks
