I had so much fun with the last themed mix, I decided to immediately make another. Behind Bars is -- you guessed it -- a collection of songs that revolve around a prison theme, and it was crazy fun to make. Turns out there are all kinds of songs about jails and law-breaking and finally getting sprung, and I think I found a good balance of the old and the new, the serious and the sort of silly. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
