From the Liner Notes:
“This record album tells the true story of my prison life in the Florida State Penitentiary in the late ’40’s. Convicted for the crime of armed robbery, I was sentenced to serve seven years in a Florida Chain Gang. The songs that you will hear in this album are some that I wrote while I was in prison. They portray the brutalities and atrocities that I endured during that time.
I was born in the state of Florida and was in the United States Army and the U.S. Merchant Marines during World War II. At this time I am married to a lovely woman, Carol, and have a three year-old son David.”
– Thank you, Floyd McClellan (Ex-convict)

Al Green The Belle Album (1977) The first without producer Willie Mitchell and the Hi Records rhythm section and his last album of “secular” music in the Seventies. Not Grade “A” Al, maybe, but here’s a sweet live performance of the title track!
