About this album
Leadbelly is a vital compilation that preserves Huddie Ledbetter’s raw country blues and songcraft. Issued in 1965, it gathers performances that helped define his reputation as one of the great voices of American folk and blues, with stark guitar work, prison-song power and earthy storytelling. Songs such as The Bourgeois Blues and The Gallis Pole show how he could turn social criticism, traditional material and personal experience into music of direct force. As the folk revival grew in the 1960s, collections like this kept Lead Belly’s legacy central to the canon.
