ARHOOLIE:
Dr. Harry Oster made these remarkable recordings in 1959 at the Angola State prison in Louisiana. Male and female inmates sing while performing routine jobs which range from cutting wood, to hoeing, cleaning the highways, washing laundry with a rubboard, and operating a sewing machine. Some of the singers, such as Robert Pete Williams, Roosevelt Charles, Guitar Welch, Hogman Maxey, and Odea Mathews, became known from their recordings on the album “Angola's Prisoners'” Blues (Arhoolie CD 419). This CD includes all of the original Arhoolie LP 2012
Dan Ferguson aka Ear Bliss; Time Out:
“Consisting almost entirely of chants with accompaniment little more than the tools of the trade... this collection takes you into the prison workyard for an up-close-and-personal with the inmates of Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola... the anguish, desperation, and bitterness is heavy in the voices of these men. The end result is a powerful portrait of life on the other side of the bars.”
