Our Take

Leadbelly's "Sings Folk Songs" album is a whirlwind of sheer musical genius, bursting with energy and raw emotion. The man himself, with his gravelly voice and expert guitar skills, takes listeners on a journey through the heart of folk music like no other.

From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, Leadbelly's powerful vocals transport you to a bygone era, where authenticity reigned supreme and music was more than just background noise. Each track is a masterclass in storytelling, with tales of loss, love, and everything in between woven into every note.

The stripped-back production allows Leadbelly's talents to shine through, with each pluck of the guitar string and soulful lyric hitting you right in the feels. His rendition of traditional folk songs feels fresh and relevant, proving that good music truly is timeless.

Whether you're a die-hard folk fan or simply looking for something new to add to your music collection, Leadbelly's "Sings Folk Songs" is an absolute must-listen. It's a testament to the enduring power of music and a reminder of why Leadbelly will always be remembered as a true legend in the industry. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let Leadbelly serenade you into a state of pure folk music bliss. Cheers to that, mate.

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.
