5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Woody and Leadbelly, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Original Vision (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful collection of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly gems. Outstanding Woody: I Ain't Got No Home; Hobo's Lullaby; Woody's Rag. Outstanding Leadbelly: Fannin Street, Rock Island Line, Goodnight Irene and Midnight Special. If this doesn't make you go out and by more of both of them, nothing will. Also recommended: "Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie" including a few by Odetta - outstanding.

This review is from: Qupid Black Glitter Oxford Flats (Apparel)

I ordered these shoes because I wanted a durable pair of flats. I have worn dance shoes my entire life, so when I saw these, I assumed that they would have the same amount of great flexibility. I was wrong and they are quite rough on the inside, but it means they are tougher on the outside too. The shoe laces are absolute crap, so you may want to change them out, but it shouldn't be more than $2. The glitter did not fall off to easily, which was surprising. If you want the hipster jazz dance shoe vibe, these are for you!

This review is from: Original Vision (Audio CD)

I've owned this CD for quite awhile. Like most everybody, I bought it after purchasing the tribute to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly, Folkways: A Vision Shared. That album (featuring everyone from Little Richard to U2), plus this original Folkways compilation, is a fine introduction to Woody and Leadbelly. But, I just discovered (and purchased) a new, remastered, and expanded version of the album - click here. So, this one gets four stars, because that's the one that deserves five!
