LEADBELLY Easy Rider Review:
Right, let's get one thing straight - LEADBELLY is not your average folk singer. This guy oozes charisma, talent, and a whole lot of soul. Easy Rider, his latest album, is a testament to that.
From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where blues, folk, and Americana collide in the most beautiful way possible. Leadbelly's gravelly voice cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, leaving you mesmerised and begging for more.
Each track on Easy Rider tells a story, whether it's about love, loss, or just life in general. Leadbelly's lyrics are raw, honest, and surprisingly funny at times. Who knew a song about a train could be so damn catchy?
The instrumentation on this record is top-notch. The guitar work is a thing of beauty, and the harmonica adds a touch of nostalgia that will have you reaching for your dusty old record player.
Overall, Easy Rider is a triumph. LEADBELLY has managed to capture lightning in a bottle and we are all lucky enough to witness it. So grab a glass of whisky, put on your headphones, and let LEADBELLY take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist
Leadbelly
Oh, Leadbelly. The man, the myth, the legend. Huddie William Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly, was a true powerhouse in the world of American folk and blues music. With a larger-than-life personality to match his booming voice, Leadbelly captivated audiences with his raw, emotive performances and unparalleled skill on the guitar. Born in Louisiana in 1888, Leadbelly's early life was filled with hardships and trials. From a young age, he showed a remarkable talent for music, teaching himself to play the guitar and mastering a wide range of styles, from traditional folk to gritty blues. His powerful voice and charismatic stage presence quickly earned him a devoted following, as audiences flocked to see the man they called the "King of the 12-String Guitar." Leadbelly's influence on the music world cannot be overstated. His unique blend of folk and blues helped pave the way for future generations of musicians, from Bob Dylan to The White Stripes. His songs, such as "Goodnight Irene" and "The Midnight Special," have become timeless classics, beloved by fans around the world. Despite his untimely death in 1949, Leadbelly's legacy lives on, his music continuing to inspire and enchant listeners to this day. So, next time you find yourself in need of a musical pick-me-up, why not spin a Leadbelly record? Trust us, you won't regret it.
