Prison Tracks CD

This 71-minute CD was recorded in prison in 2002 by inmates Dennis Sobin and Steve Andrew when they were together at the Federal Correctional Institution in Petersburg, Virginia. They recorded these 33 instrumental tracks under the name of their acoustic guitar duo, Jailhouse Guitar Willie. For more about that, go to the website DennisSobin.Com and read the book, Doing Time in Waltz Time: A Memoir of Ten Years in Prison Playing and Teaching Music. It explains how the recording was made as well as the events leading up to it. This is easy listening music performed by accomplished guitarists.
