BORN BAD: 40 TALES OF BAD BOYS AND DIRTY DEEDS (2 CDs)

If there’s one subject that’s truly a cornerstone of not only country music but also blues and R&B, it’s Bad Boys - the ones who took that short but fatal step from the wrong side of the tracks to the wrong side of the law and wound up either in jail, on the run, or six feet under. On this splendid 2CD compilation, you’ll discover a wide selection of them. The boys may be bad, but the songs are anything but!
