About the artist
Lead Belly
"You've probably never heard of him, but Lead Belly is a true legend of American folk music. With a name like Lead Belly, you'd expect nothing less than raw, gritty blues - and that's exactly what you get. His soulful voice and powerful guitar playing are enough to send shivers down your spine and make you wonder why you've been wasting your time listening to anything else. Lead Belly's music is like a time machine, transporting you back to the muddy fields of the Mississippi Delta or the smoky juke joints of New Orleans. His songs tell stories of love, loss, and hardship, all delivered with a visceral intensity that few artists can match. But Lead Belly was more than just a musician - he was a true original. With his signature style of fingerpicking and bottleneck slide guitar, he revolutionised the blues and laid the foundation for countless musicians to come. His influence can be heard in everyone from Bob Dylan to Kurt Cobain, proving that good music truly is timeless. So next time you're feeling like your music collection needs a little kick in the pants, give Lead Belly a listen. You won't regret it. And who knows, you might just discover your new favourite artist in the process. All hail the king of the blues, Lead Belly."
