Notes

This album of powerful work songs was recorded in Texas prisons in the middle 1960's and offers a look at a tradition now pretty much defunct, though one that served real needs and functions for black prisoners until recent times. Worksongs helped give comfort to prisoners and indeed helped them to survive the grueling work demanded of them. This record is a companion to the Harvard University Press book of the same title.

Recorded and edited by Bruce Jackson.

A production of the Center for Studies in American Culture, State University of New York at Buffalo.

Includes a fantastic liner note booklet
