The piece, titled THE B-SIDE: “Negro Folklore from Texas State Prisons”: A Record Album Interpretation and conceived and assembled by director Kate Valk and performer Eric Berryman, consists in preformance largely of “what Berryman describes as ‘channeling’: he listens to an audio feed through an earpiece and precisely reproduces the singing and the spoken word tracks on the album.” Writer Paul David Young, even as he admired the skill involved, wondered “if the sanitization of these songs, as they were transferred from the fields to vinyl and onto the stage, elided too much of our profoundly uncomfortable history as a nation.” – Hyperallergic
