Johnny Cash once belligerently spent the night in the Starkville, Mississippi jail for the high crime of picking a flower late at night — an event he famously memorialized on “Live at San Quentin”. It spawned a local flower festival named after Cash, a Country Trail Marker commemorating the event, and 42 years after the late singer’s arrest, he was pardoned by the town government.

This quality embroidered hat features Chance Records and Chicago, Illinois. Chance Records was a Chicago-based blues label that captured the raw, postwar electric blues sound coming out of the city in the 1950s. It’s closely associated with influential Chicago blues artists and represents a pivotal moment when the blues moved from Southern roots to an urban, electrified edge.
