Baltimore native Michael Austin spent nearly 27 years in prison for an armed robbery and murder he did not commit. While in Maryland's old House of Correction, Austin turned to music as a way of coping with life in "The Cut" while he sought legal help from outside. He wrote songs and refined his singing voice. Austin, pardoned in 2001, talks about the redeeming value of music, and we'll hear songs from his new CD, "I Just Want To Love You."

Beautiful
Michael has a wonderful voice and is a talented singer/songwriter/musician. I am saddened that this wonderful talent was wrongly locked away for 27 years. For Micheal to be able to write such beautiful music in spite of this awful situation is a testament to his inner strength and beauty.
