About Prison Songs
Product Description Here is Lomax's legendary Negro Prison Songs album in its entirety with excellent liner notes. Includes The Murderer's Home; No More, My Lord; Old Alabama; Black Woman; Whoa Buck; Prettiest Train; Old Dollar Mamie; Rosie , and more. 17 songs. Review [This album] is a reissue of [Alan] Lomax's original Negro Prison Songs.... Volume one is a masterpiece, the best single document of the African American work song and field holler tradition.... The group work songs, while excellent examples of the style, are by their nature less distinctive than the extraordinary solo performances. Nonetheless, they are uniformly strong and include many of the most common of such pieces. -- Living Blues
