Leadbelly
American Epic: Best Of Lead Belly
Louisiana delta native Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter is the master of twelve-string blues guitar. His story is one of
high-highs and low-lows, from serving stints in prison after killing a man in a fight for a woman's heart, but then
eventually earning early release by entertaining his fellow prison-mates and penning a song for the governor, thus
cementing his reputation of singing his way out of prison. Folklorists John and Alan Lomax were early supporters that
brought Lead Belly to the attention of Ivy Leaguers as well as a European audience. His songs have been widely covered
by artists such as Elvis, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, and the Grateful Dead.
