The Loner is a live album by Australian singer-songwriter, Vic Simms, which was recorded when he was incarcerated in Bathurst Gaol in 1973.
Vic Simms was convicted of a robbery in 1968 and was serving his seven-year sentence in Bathurst Gaol.[1] While imprisoned he taught himself guitar and started song writing.[1] The Robin Hood Foundation sent his demo tape to RCA Limited, which organised a mobile studio to be sent to the prison.[1] Simms recorded his solo live album, The Loner, over one hour and it was released in 1973.[1][2]
