Good evening. Today's topic is prison blues. Work songs that the chain gang sang.
A chain gang is a group of prisoners chained together to perform menial or physically challenging work as a form of punishment. Such punishment might include repairing buildings, building roads, or clearing land.
The song I'm about to play is a negro prison song from The Mississippi State Penitentiary called "Old Alabama". This is a historical recording from Parchman Farm 1947 Recorded by Dr. Harry Oster
