Old Time Crime I CSV102 WARNER CHAPPELL PM    CRIME SONICS

Old Time Crime I

During the California Gold Rush from 1848 to 1852, fortune seekers brought more than just hopes and dreams to the Bay area; they also brought an increase in crime. When the city's jails proved inadequate, the state opted to build the now infamous structure named San Quentin. These 10 authentic, prison blues sounding cues were captured in a lo-fi recording style to propel you back to time to when the cellblocks were being put in place by the very inmates that would soon call them home. Looking for authentic, old sounding, prison blues-style guitar? It'd be a crime to look any further.
