One of my best buys ever. I love that this box most of his career for a decent price. Also it covers his library of Congress sessions. This is a must have in my books.

The music is as advertised, classis Leadbelly. But some of the CDs jump or skip when played, and don't seem to indicate an end when it is over, leaving the CD rattling in the player.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Blues!!!, March 22, 2007

This is the blues; the real thing, not blues-rock. Leadbelly became known to the white audience through his association with the early folk scene, but he himself was a straight-up bluesman. If you've been into stuff like Cream, The Yardbirds or Ten Years After thinking that they are blues, I've got news for ya!! Those bands are excellent, and were obviously blues-influenced,(and even recorded blues here and there!!) but they were rock bands more than they were blues artists. Check out this box, and any of the other blues boxes from JSP, and you will get a dose of TRUE blues!!
