Review
An essential and definitive collection from one of the most influential blues guitarist and vocalist of all time, Leadbelly!
Features all of Leadbelly s classic recordings including Goodnight Irene, The Boll Weevil, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? and many, many more!
These timeless tracks have been digitally remastered to pristine audio quality and packaged together with vintage photographs and extensive liner notes!
Leadbelly was the first rural African-American musician to receive massive media exposure and earn a pop hit. In the days prior to phonographs and radio, Leadbelly began performing the standards of the era, often times shaping them into his own songs. He earned a solid reputation as a folk singer, leading to folk-song collector John Lomax to take interest in Leadbelly s career. Lomax made numerous recordings of Leadbelly before the singer eventually went his own way to record for the Folkways and Capitol imprints. To this day, Leadbelly s influence on and importance to the history of modern blues, country and soul music is simply undeniable. This collection features many of Leadbelly s greatest performances and will make a fantastic addition to any music lover s collection. --Cleopatra Records
