Prison Farm Blues (original)
Comment Share
This is the original version of Prison Farm Blues which I wrote in 2004. It wasn't released officially until 2014. After discovering two verses were very close to a song called Parchment Farm from the 1940s, I rewrote the song.

Story behind the song
I've always loved blues music. I was especially fond of the old Blues of the forties and fifties. This song was based on those songs. I found out that two of the verses unintentionally came close to copyright infringement, so I decided to rewrite it. The updated version was released at Prison Farm Blues 2018
