Prison Songs (Historical Recordings From Parchman Farm 1947-48) by Alan Lomax
(0 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"Alan Lomax was a folklorist and ethnomusicologist who was making archival recordings and field recordings in the 40s, and this album consists mainly of prison chain gang songs. The first time I heard it, it stopped me in my tracks - it was incredibly moving to hear because it's just the sound of male voices and pickaxes and nothing else... it sounds haunted but hopeful. Like listening to ghosts, the quality of the singing and the recording [is such] that you can never have again - a document of its time. It's spiritual: the pain is in their singing, which would have been their only mode of expression. It's singular and not something I'd put on everyday, being a heavy listen."

"In fact, the whole John Cassavetes: Five Films set. This is the starter kit for anyone who wonders about the roots of the American independent film movement. Seeing Cassavetes’s debut, the politically charged love story Shadows, is like watching the birth of a giant. Meanwhile, Faces and A Woman Under the Influence are searing portraits of the blinding pain true love can bring when a marriage ends up tearing a family apart. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night, on the other hand, are noirish sagas of death and business. Plus, Charles Kiselyak’s moving documentary A Constant Forge offers up the proper historical and cultural perspective on one of American cinema’s true visionaries."

It's a pretty brutal but just-deserved ending to this story. Bad guys get their comeuppance, more secrets are revealed and answered and the debts are finally brought to an end.

I really enjoyed some parts of this, others made me wince in sympathy/pain at what they were going through but I have to admit it was one of the better endings I've read to a series, even if I didn't agree with one of the authors casualties. I cried friggin' buckets for a good twenty per cent at the end. That person shouldn't have died and should have gotten their own book because I liked them too much. :'(
