Lead Belly - Where Did You Sleep Last Night, Vol 1 '1965

Tracks list

Forty years after his death, Lead Belly’s songs and style have continued
to influence folk, blues, and rock artists including Neil Young, William Styron,
Ben Harper, Keb’ Mo, Dionne Farris, and the late Kurt Cobain (Nirvana).
Between 1941 and 1947 Lead Belly recorded some of his best music in Moses
Asch’s tiny New York studio. The only surviving Asch masters of Lead
Belly are now part of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. For the first time in
almost 50 years these original acetates have been carefully remastered and newly
annotated. 34 tracks, including Irene, Where Did You Sleep Last Night, In the
Evening When the Sun Goes Down, and Rock Island Line. Originally released as a
tribute to Lead Belly after his death in 1948, this reissue includes many
out-takes and previously unreleased and alternate versions. Extensive notes
include Lead Belly’s own song commentary. Annotated by Jeff Place.
Compiled by Jeff Place, Anthony Seeger and Kip Lornell. The soul expressed is
full-fledged and sublime. — New England Folk Almanac
