Our Take

Prepare to be transported to the heart of Texas, where the sounds of the chain gang echo through the sweltering heat in VARIOUS ARTISTS' latest release, "Negro Folklore From Texas State Prisons."

This unique compilation of field recordings captures the raw emotion and unfiltered storytelling of prisoners as they sing songs passed down through generations. From haunting spirituals to foot-stomping work chants, each track offers a glimpse into a world few have experienced.

The album's production may not be as polished as your typical studio release, but that's part of its charm. The crackling of the vinyl and background noise only add to the authenticity of these recordings, transporting listeners to the dusty fields and cramped cells of Texas prisons.

Standout tracks include the sorrowful "Midnight Special" and the rollicking "Early in the Morning," both of which showcase the incredible vocal talent and emotional depth of the performers. Each song is a testament to the resilience and creativity of those living behind bars.

"Negro Folklore From Texas State Prisons" is a vital addition to any music lover's collection, providing a window into a world rarely heard and a reminder of the power of music to transcend even the harshest of circumstances. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be captivated by the soul-stirring sounds of Texas prison folklore.
