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.
