“Parchman Farm” or “Parchman Farm Blues” is blues song first recorded by American Delta blues musician Bukka White in 1940. It is an autobiographical piece, in which White sings of his experience at the infamous Mississippi State Penitentiary, known as Parchman Farm. Jazz pianist-vocalist Mose Allison adapted it for his own “Parchman Farm” and “New Parchman”, which are among his most popular songs. Numerous artists have recorded their own renditions, usually based on Allison’s songs. Read on...
