Our Take

Hailed as a folk legend and a true pioneer of blues music, Leadbelly's "Good Morning Blues" is a joyful explosion of soulful storytelling and toe-tapping rhythms. From the moment the opening track hits your eardrums, you can't help but be swept away by Leadbelly's distinctive voice and masterful guitar playing.

Each song on the album feels like a mini adventure, with Leadbelly's rich lyrics painting vivid pictures of a bygone era. Whether he's crooning about love lost or spinning tales of life on the road, Leadbelly's undeniable charisma shines through in every note.

The instrumentals on "Good Morning Blues" are nothing short of electrifying, with Leadbelly's guitar work bringing a fiery energy to each track. From the jaunty jangles of "Grey Goose" to the haunting melodies of "Black Betty," Leadbelly's mastery of his craft is on full display.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Leadbelly doesn't shy away from the darker side of life, with songs like "In the Pines" delving into themes of loss and despair. But even in these somber moments, Leadbelly's raw emotion and undeniable talent shine through.

In conclusion, "Good Morning Blues" is a timeless masterpiece that showcases Leadbelly at the height of his powers. So pour yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let Leadbelly's music wash over you like a warm embrace. You won't be disappointed.
