Leadbelly (born Huddie William Ledbetter 1888-1949) was one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music. The great blues and folk singer-songwriter is renowned for his powerful songs as well as for his prowess on the 12-string guitar. Belly's material influenced folk, skiffle, and rock. The list of artists that have paid tribute to him by covering his songs is endless; Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Waits, and Bruce Springsteen, among many others.
Presented here is his complete Capitol 1962 LP Leadbelly, which also contains a session he recorded for that label in 1944. All these songs constitute a treasure trove of incalculable value, which would form the basis and spirit of Leadbelly's legend and secure his reputation as one of the greatest pioneers of that classic era.
