SUMMARY:Conversations with Our Curator - The Midnight Special: The Secret Prison History of American Music (2026) with Colin Asher
DESCRIPTION:In American popular music\, we often glorify rebellious artists and “outlaws.” But in THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL: The Secret Prison History of American Music [W. W. Norton & Company; June 30\, 2026; $29.99 hardcover]\, Colin Asher\, author of a critically acclaimed biography of Nelson Algren\, Never a Lovely So Real\, tells a deeper story about the criminal justice system’s impact on our musicians\, explored through compelling portraits of five artists whose careers span the twentieth century. \nOpening with folk and blues artist Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter\, who was made to perform wearing prison clothes\, Asher traces the intertwined histories of music and incarceration\, from Southern prison farms of the Jim Crow era\, through the heroin-driven mid-century drug wars that villainized a generation of jazz artists\, and to our present era of mass incarceration. \nAsher shows how the suggestion of criminality has often benefited white artists\, while prosecutions often hurt Black musicians. Comparing the divergent trajectories of jazz pianist Elmo Hope with country singer Johnny Cash\, Asher examines how violent and discriminatory policing stifled Hope’s career and led to the creation of his album Sounds from Rikers Island (1963)\, while forgiveness and lenience brought us Cash’s masterpiece At San Quentin (1969). \nWith keen musical analysis and sociological insight\, THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL examines key themes in culture and criminal justice\, from the movement for prison reform that allowed soul musician Ike White to stage thrilling concerts while locked up and record his album Changin’ Times (1977)\, to the crushing cultural weight of mass incarceration a generation later. Closing with Tupac Shakur’s Me Against the World (1995) and stories of music in prisons today\, THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL recounts how prisons occasionally incubate talent but more often shorten careers and distort the public’s perception of musicians and their value to society. \nAn urgent book about the ways music can affirm an individual’s sense of humanity in dehumanizing circumstances\, THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL writes the history of prisons into American music—a story as important as it is overlooked. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nColin Asher is the author of the critically acclaimed Never a Lovely So Real. His work has been featured in the Believer\, the Baffler\, the New Republic\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York.\nConversations with our Curator” is a free\, monthly web series featuring BSCAM Director of Curatorial Affairs\, Melissa Kozlowski\, in conversation with researchers and writers exploring new perspectives in American music history. Audience Q&A welcome.
