Сборник песен записанных в 1947-48 американскими заключенными, отбывавшими срок в Parchman Farm - самой старой тюрьме штата Миссисипи. Эти песни уходят корнями во времена плантаций и рабов-негров. Первая часть сборника первый раз была издана в 1958 под названием Negro Prison Songs. Песни, пропитанные жгучим потом и кровью стертых до мозолей рук, пылью и жарким солнцем южных штатов, ударами молота и криками надзирателей.
по поводу записи :

"John Lomax, together with his son Alan, began recording these songs in Southern penitentiaries in 1933. In 1947, and again in 1948, Alan returned to Parchman Farm to gather in the songs we have here. Pre-war equipment was too limited to record the convicts while they worked. Instead, most of the material was gathered after hours, with the singers worn out from performing the very songs the Lomaxes were trying to capture. By 1947, however, the first modern tape recorder was on the market. With this device it was possible to preserve the sound of negro worksong in full flight.

Volume 1 is exclusively from Lomax's 1947 recordings and features protagonists with such colourful nicknames as Bama, Tangle Eye, 22, and Hard Hair. Volume 2 is mostly from Lomax's return trip in 1948, by which time additional singers seem to have found their way into the pen. They include Dobie Red, Curry Childress, and 88. The impression is strengthened when one reads John Lomax's reminiscences of collecting songs in Parchman Farm before World War 11. Of the singers he mentions, only Dobie Red and Tangle Eye were in the pen between 1947 and 1948."
