Another source of information regarding Parchman is a book titled "Worse Than Slavery," recently remaindered through Hamilton Books. Seems to me this convict history is definitely "song related," since we sing many songs from the region and the era, and it makes sense to me that we should make an effort to know whereof we sing. Listen to the great Vera Hall (recorded by Alan Lomax in Livingston, Alabama) singing "Another Man Done Gone" on either Rounder's "Deep River of Song - Alabama" or "Treasury of Library of Congress Field Recordings" compiled by Stephen Wade (Rounder 1500 - a splendid collection!).
