Cotton Picking, Angola, Louisiana, 1997

"Recalling the seminal years of the blues, convicts pick cotton at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. The cadence of field-workers shaped the blues' musical structure."

From "Traveling the Blues Highway," April 1999, National Geographic magazine

摘棉花，安哥拉，路易斯安那州，1997

安哥拉路易斯安那州监狱的囚犯们在摘棉花，让人回想起蓝调布鲁斯的创作过程。正在作业的囚犯的动作节奏，如同蓝调布鲁斯音乐节奏一般。
