Stunning music from an infamous US jail

Hear stunning music recorded inside Mississippi's infamous Parchman prison Emmanuel Lafont Earlier this year, award-winning producer Ian Brennan visited the notorious Mississippi State Penitentiary, aka Parchman Farm, to record inmates singing. "Oh listen you men, I don't mean no harm / Oh listen you men, I don't mean no harm / If you wanna do good, you better stay off ol' Parchman farm." – Bukka White, Parchman Farm Blues On the morning of 5 February 2023, Grammy-winning producer Ian Brennan arrived at the gates of the notorious Mississippi State Penitentiary, better known as Parchman Farm. Though jazz musician Mose Allison wrote his own version of Parchman Farm Blues, simply called Parchman Farm, in 1957, his interest was purely observational; he never served jail time there or anywhere else.
