WILLARD MACK VICKERY IS CHIEFLY KNOWN AMONG ROCKABILLY FANS FOR A FEW RECORDS ON LONG-GONE LABELS (INCLUDING SUN RECORDS) AND FOR WRITING SONGS THAT SPOKE TO JERRY LEE LEWIS ON SEVERAL LEVELS. BUT HE ALSO WROTE TOP-SELLING SONGS FOR TANYA TUCKER, WAYLON JENNINGS, GEORGE STRAIT, JOHNNY PAYCHECK AND MANY OTHERS. THIS CD IS A RE-RELEASE OF MACK’S 1970 ALBUM RECORDED AT ALABAMA WOMEN’S STATE PRISON. THE IDEA CAME AFTER HEARING JOHNNY CASH’S “LIVE AT FOLSOM PRISON” BUT AS TO HOW THE PERFORMANCE FINALLY WAS APPROVED AND HAPPENED IS SHROUDED IN A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROVERSY. SUFFICE TO SAY MACK CAME ON STAGE SHAKING LIKE ELVIS AND THE WOMEN WENT WILD.

EIGHTY PER CENT OF THE CONVICTS AT JULIA TUTWILLER PRISON WERE INSIDE FOR KILLING CHEATING HUSBANDS OR TWO-TIME LOVERS. MACK TOOK NOTICE AND PICKED HIS REPERTOIRE CAREFULLY INCLUDING SONGS SUCH AS “LIFE TURNED HER THAT WAY”, “A WOMAN WHO WALKS ON THE WILD SIDE”, “ALABAMA WOMEN’S PRISON BLUES” AND “WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES” FIT THE OCCASION PERFECTLY. ON THIS CD THE ORIGINAL ALBUM HAS BEEN EXPANDED WITH THE NON-ALBUM SINGLE, “MEAT MAN” B/W “THE FARTHER I LET HER GO” ORIGINATING FROM MACK’S SHORT STINT WITH MEGA RECORDS. V. GOOD HISTORICAL RELEASE ****
