Prison Worksongs
•
One of the most beautifully haunting things I’ve listened to!
•
Songs recorded in the 1930s when the railways were being built, to wood being chopped to machining licence plates. It was a time where many were imprisoned, a lot of which for the complete wrong & horrendous reasons
•
It was not just POC that were imprisoned, but also parts of the Asian & Irish community in the USA.
This was recorded in the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola
•
Way back when I was 15/16 in college. I wrote a massive paper on the Blues & slavery & how the latter was the ignition & birth to what would become modern day music, even to this day.
I received a double distinction & then 2year later saw BB King with Gary Moore supporting.
Truly special!
