    "comment": "A Parchman Farm field recording from Alan Lomax’s 1959 Mississippi prison sessions, led by inmate Ervin Webb with other prisoners on a spare, work-song-style blues that feels less like a “performance” than a stubborn act of self-preservation. The song was captured at the dairy camp of Mississippi State Penitentiary and later reissued in Lomax anthologies.",
