Alan Lomax recorded these folk songs during the late 1950's in people's houses and in prisons.Incredible to have recordings of prisoners singing to the beat of their axe strokes as they work.Housework seems lessmundane when doing it with this music on.Wide range of music representedhere, but many of the songs in this volume are concerned with crime,especially murder, and prison life.Two (actually three) great versions ofPo' Lazarus, and an interesting John Henry.I would have given it 5 starsexcept there's 1 track I hate and two others I don't care for.That leaves14 great tracks.Click Here to see more reviews about: Southern Journey, Vol. 5: Bad Man Ballads - Songs Of Outlaws And Desperadoes
