The resulting \"Just Walkin' in the Rain\" became Sun Records' biggest pre-Elvis song-and the group's only hit. The men were the Prisonaires, a vocal quintet who honed their skills while inmates at the Tennessee State Penitentiary. This book looks at the story of these imprisoned men using music as a means of cultural and personal survival in context of the pre-Civil Rights South at a time when Nashville was beginning to gain national recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John M.
