Poor Boy - Lomax Prison Recording Posted by: PreWarMusic Video duration: 171 seconds Recorded by Alan Lomax in 1939, picture taken by Jack Delano. Sorry if any confusion was caused over this though the song and the picture are unrelated, I just like the picture so thought it was some what fitting for a song recorded in prison :) Related: black, blues, chain, cool, county, delano, farm, field, folk, gang, jack, lomax, music, penitentary, prison, recording, trip Bull Doze Blues Posted by: PreWarMusic Video duration: 206 seconds One of Henry Thomas' most renowned recording which was covered to great acclaim in the 1960's by Blues Rock band Canned Heat. Henry Thomas was more a Songster than a Blues musician who played his own reworks of traditionals and standards alike with the unique touch of the Quills which he plays along with the Guitar in a style which appears to be completely individual for Thomas as a Musician.
