The recordings on this album were made in Texas prison farms in July 1964. Bruce Jackson had gone there in the hope of recording black convict worksongs, a tradition that derived from slavery, and, before that, was imported from Africa. Many of the prisons in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana where such songs had been sung, had been built on the sites of slaverytime plantations. It was as if the owners changed, but not much else. Bruce found far more than worksongs. Prison is a place where people live: when they go there, they bring with them pieces of free world culture, just as someone migrating from one country to another brings cultural knowledge and practice to the new home. In addition to the worksongs, he heard spirituals, blues, toasts (recited poems), and much more. In this LP, he tries to give a sense of that range of material. (In other recordings, he would focus on work songs, toasts, and personal narrative.) This iconic album has now been re-mastered and features original artwork in full

Stylish, comfortable, and a great price.
Size: 11, Color: Dark/Blue, Size: 11, Color: Dark/Blue
Can't beat the quality at this price. This is my 2nd pair, my last pair (in brown) lasting almost 3 years as a work shoe in a dusty warehouse. Nice and light. Fitment is true to size. Very good looking and comfortable shoe. I suggest insoles as the soles are a little thin and can be rough on a bad back. And they squeak on the floor after they age. But again, for the price you can't beat these shoes. Did, would, and will buy again.

Excellent shoes.
Size: 11, Color: Black
Exceptionally comfortable and stylish. Great with casual slacks or jeans. If you have a casual work space or casual Fridays, these will be great. Good support. Good fit. Sizes are accurate.

Nice shoe, sizing information on this review
Size: 9, Color: Grey, Size: 9, Color: Grey
Ok, let's talk Breeze Mesh Sneakers by Bruno Marc (Grey)...... Firstly, they are nicely stylish appearance wise. They are lightweight (which I like). They feel comfortable and easy to walk in. I have not owned them very long, so I can't inform you on long term wear or how they feel after months of use. I own many pairs of shoes, mostly running type shoes. I needed a pair like these to wear in a more formal situation. Maybe with some dress pants or nice jeans. Now let's discuss the SIZING which is very important to me. Without a good fit, your shoes will never feel right when wearing. I normally wear size 9 in Men's. I seen someone mention that they 'run small'. I can do 9.5 in those situations, so I ordered 9.5. When they arrived and I tried them on, it was obvious they were too big. too much toe room in front. So I returned them for my normal size which is 9 Men's. Much better. AND, i still have toe room in front (no tightness). My suggestion to you is to order your normal size. The shoes feel like quality shoes and I feel that are a good purchase (for the price). The shoes came quickly. Bruno Marc is a good overall shoe. Hope this information helps.

These shoes adequately do the job they're meant to do
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
For shoes to wear daily for work, these are absolutely perfect. I give four stars simply because they are not 100% perfect; that is, they are a reflection of their cost and durability. With that said, these shoes are perfect for my role as a professor AND a person who walks half a mile from the train station to class and back 5x a week. Comfortable. Nice cushion on the heel. And they look really amazing - classy but not pretentious. I bought a second pair a week after the first just so I could have different colors, and it is likely I will get a third pair. For $40-ish dollars, they do the job they're meant to and they do it well. This picture shown are the originals I bought, but I also got the black pair, too.

Great shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Grey
I saw people wearing shoes like this in the office (maybe not the same brand), so I ordered a pair to see how they feel. They feel amazing. It's basically sneaker that look ok to be worn with pants and sport jacket. Fit is great, I ordered my usual size and they fit nicely. Sole is thick enough to make them comfortable, not too thick to looks like a sport sneaker. Durability seems ok, wore them couple of times, so I can't really tell, but they seems like they can last long time.
