The Charles Manson – Saints Are Hell On Earth album was recorded in 1985 at San Quentin Prison in California. Most of the recording was recorded under imperfect conditions and had to be smuggled in secretly. Sleeve notes state that technical limitations are quite apparent. The album was released in October 1988 on the TPOS label.
What’s amazing is that a murderer such as Charles Manson can record albums from behind prison bars. And yet he was a part of the real hippie movement is astounding. The fact that Charles Manson was a neo-Nazi and a Satan worshipper made his persona and public image worse. Charles Manson has been vilified by the pressYet hardcore Charles Manson fans ad followers think that the best Manson tunes are the prison jams.
Boxcar Willie is a county folk song that was written by Charles Manson. Yes the song is an original. Folk music meets country right here. Summer Road was a warm fuzzy feel to it. Similar to what you would feel on a summer’s day.
The song Little Kids gives off a creepy pedophile vibe that is quite frankly disturbing. The fact that a song called Little Kids is on a Charles Manson album is even worse. The song itself is quite repulsive.
I rate this album, Saints Are Hell On Earth, 2/5**.
