Our Take
"Lead Belly Sings Folk Songs" by the legendary Lead Belly is a delightful romp through the history of American folk music, served up with a side of southern charm and a twist of bluesy goodness. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a simpler time when men sang about working on the chain gang and women lamented lost loves in hauntingly beautiful melodies. Lead Belly's voice is a force to be reckoned with, full of soul and emotion that cuts straight to the heart. His powerful delivery on tracks like "Goodnight Irene" and "Midnight Special" will leave you breathless, while his gentle crooning on "The Bourgeois Blues" will have you swaying along with a smile on your face. The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with expertly played guitars, banjos, and harmonicas creating a rich tapestry of sound that complements Lead Belly's vocals perfectly. The production has a warm, vintage feel that adds to the album's charm, making you feel like you're sitting around a campfire with the man himself. Overall, "Lead Belly Sings Folk Songs" is a must-listen for fans of American folk music and blues. It's a timeless classic that showcases the talent and passion of one of music's true greats. So grab a glass of moonshine, kick back, and let Lead Belly serenade you into the night. You won't regret it.
