Alright! By request we have a real treat today! The complete Leadbelly recordings from 39-47. These cuts are raw, mono, and packed full of delta blues. This guy plays it all, guitar, lap steel, harp, accordion piano and one hell of a voice! I would assume the majority of you know who this legend is, but for you younger cats, you may know the song "where did you sleep last night" recorded by Nirvana, which is an old old leadbelly tune. With out further ado i present you with a album that you would hear walking down a dirt road in Louisiana or by the Bayou trying to stay hidden from the Klan and the crocs!(thanks Shel!!!) Break out the corn liquor and pipe tobacco!
Highlighted cuts - Looky Looky Longer/Black Betty and the Bourgeois Blues
