Performer: Leadbelly
Producer: Johnny Parth (Compilation) Distributor: Allegro Corporation (Dist Notes: Full title: Complete Recorded Works 1939-1947 In Chronological Order Volume 1: 1 April 1939 to 15 June 1940. Personnel includes: Huddy "Leadbelly" Ledbetter (vocals, guitar); Willis Johnson, William Langford, Henry Owens, Arlandus Wilson (vocals). Recorded in New York, New York between 1935 & 1940. Includes liner notes by Ken Romanowski.
The embodiment of the link between folk and blues, Lousiana-born Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) possessed a powerful voice and the creative fervor to fashion his observations and heartfelt passions into riveting songs. An itinerant singer/guitarist, he performed in between working odd jobs and spending time in prison for his violent outbursts. Twice he gained pardon from long prison sentences with his songs. After Leadbelly's second pardon, in 1934, the recordings folklorist Alan Lomax made of him brought the singer national success. Whether conscious of his influence or not, nearly all folk and blues singers can trace their musical lineage back to him. He's responsible for many songs that have become part of America's cultural heritage.
