The Sound Council in conjunction with Brick Magazine, presents this first time pressing of inspirational gospel / boogie gem produced by Chuck Bynum. Miraculously recorded and filmed circa 1990 within the walls of a California State penitentiary.
This very special project tells the story of one man’s struggle and resilience, expressed through raw, heartfelt music- recorded and filmed within the walls of a California State penitentiary. Mr. Chuck Bynum, whose career once placed him alongside legends such as the late Marvin Gaye and Miss Natalie Cole, went on to record with the 1970s funk unit, T.U.M.E. (The Ultimate Music Experience). Just as he was poised to rise further, securing his own solo record deal, Chuck’s life took a dramatic turn when he was charged with a non-violent drug offense and handed a life sentence. While incarcerated, Chuck was noted as a model prisoner and found a way to keep creating, channelling his experience into music. Through the prison arts program, Chuck documented a rare piece of his transformational journey- turning pain into expression and music into celebration.
Now, for the first time ever, this unreleased work is being shared with the world- an authentic glimpse into the power of music as both hope and redemption.
