The Midnight Special and Other Southern Prison Songs is an album by Lead Belly and the Golden Gate Quartet, recorded for Victor Records in 1940 and released a few months later. In 1939, Lead Belly was back in jail for assault after stabbing a man in a fight in Manhattan. The ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, who had started to make field recordings of folk music for the Library of Congress, helped raise money for Lead Belly's legal expenses. It was Lomax's original intent to record songs in prison, but instead a recording studio was used. To create a "prison" feel Lomax suggested that the Golden Gate Quartet back Lead Belly. However, the Golden Gate Quartet was a polished, professional group, and Lead Belly had to teach them how to sing as a group of prisoners would sing the selected songs.

| - 《The Midnight Special and Other Southern Prison Songs》는 레드 벨리와 골든 게이트 콰르텟이 1941년 발매한 정규 음반이다. 1940년 뉴저지주의 캠던에서 녹음하여 빅터 레코드를 통해 발매하였다. 1939년, 레드 벨리는 맨해튼에서 한 남자를 칼로 찌르면서 폭행죄로 감옥에 수감되었다. 빅터 레코드에서 포크 음악을 만들던 민족음악가인 앨런 로맥스는 레드 벨리의 법적 비용을 마련하는 데 도움을 주었다. 원래는 감옥에서 노래를 녹음하기로 하였으나, 녹음실로 바뀌게 되었다. 로맥스는 조금 더 감옥의 느낌을 내게 하기 위해서 골든 게이트 콰르텟이 음반에 참여토록 하는 것을 제안하였다. 하지만 골든 게이트 콰르텟은 전문적인 노래를 하는 그룹이었고, 레드 벨리는 죄수 느낌이 나게 노래를 가르쳤다. 이 음반에는 총 3개의 디스크, 6개의 면에 녹음이 되어 있다.

| - The Midnight Special and Other Southern Prison Songs is an album by Lead Belly and the Golden Gate Quartet, recorded for Victor Records in 1940 and released a few months later. In 1939, Lead Belly was back in jail for assault after stabbing a man in a fight in Manhattan. The ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, who had started to make field recordings of folk music for the Library of Congress, helped raise money for Lead Belly's legal expenses. It was Lomax's original intent to record songs in prison, but instead a recording studio was used. To create a "prison" feel Lomax suggested that the Golden Gate Quartet back Lead Belly. However, the Golden Gate Quartet was a polished, professional group, and Lead Belly had to teach them how to sing as a group of prisoners would sing the selected songs. The album was issued with extensive notes and song texts prepared by Alan Lomax. According to Charles Wolfe and Kip Lornell, "it was one of the finest public presentations of Leadbelly's music: well recorded, well advertised, well documented. And the album justified its reputation as a landmark in African American folk music." The Midnight Special and Other Southern Prison Songs was originally released a three-disc collection of 78 rpm records, catalog number Victor P-50. All tracks were recorded at Victor Studios in New York City on June 15 and 17, 1940. (en)
