Leona Williams - San Quentin's First Lady

Leona Williams - San Quentin's First Lady was originally recorded on January 1, 1976, in San Quentin State Prison with Merle Haggard's Strangers Band.

This historic project has been remastered and released on CD format for the first time. New artwork includes a photo of Leona and Merle Haggard as they reunited at the Grand Palace in Branson, Missouri, in 2004, for a special show.

San Quentin's First Lady was the first time that a woman had recorded an album in a prison. The crowd goes wild as they hear the Legendary Leona Williams perform some songs written especially for this appearance written by some great songwriters including Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens and Tommy Collins.
