Lead Belly - Saga Blues: Blues & Folk Singer '2005

Tracks list

Sentenced to hard labour on several occasions, and discovered by chance (dressed
in stripes and holding a guitar), Lead Belly came from slavery and became indeed
Black America’s live hero of legend. His eventful wanderings took him
from his native Louisiana to New York, a twisting path on which he gathered
dozens and dozens of songs. Some were blues and some were work songs, and there
was a whole pile of tunes that were folklore, but all were saved from oblivion
by one of the greatest troubadours of modern times. In the extraordinary
portrait gallery of popular Afro-American artists, Lead Belly has unique pride
of place.
