Excerpt from the Introduction: Trains, Jesus, and Murder
“Pick up any Johnny Cash album, and you’ll likely find a hymn of praise next to a murder ballad. Saints and sinners are all jumbled up together. This is the mixture I discovered out at the prison: ‘Cocaine Blues’ and ‘Greystone Chapel’ are found in the very same place or person. Seams of gold run through the blackest of hearts. Faith shines brightest in the darkest of places. And I feel closest to God worshipping with the damned.”
