There is a huge archive of Lomax recordings at: culturalequity.org
The site is really cool, and the prison recordings are especially intense.
Just follow links to sound or video recordings. Some of the video from the Delta in the 70s is pretty sweet. I think Sam Chatmon might be my favorite. He claims to be the brother of Charlie Patton.
