A Special Edition of the Vlog this week - we depart from our usual format to bring you an episode devoted to Prison Rock and the intersection of bad behaviour and outstanding music. With performances from Leadbelly (Goodnight Irene, from a 1935 newsreel); Elvis Presley and his classic Jailhouse Rock; Johnny Cash at San Quentin; John Lennon's angry Attica State performed on the French show Pop2, B.B. King at Sing Sing asking How Blue Can You Get; Bachman Turner Overdrive Take Care of Some Business in 1988 at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary; Steve Earle remains Unrepentant in MTV's "To Hell and Back" special from 1996. Plus a surprise performance from from funkster and sometime jail bird, Rick James.
