Search - Leadbelly :: Mount Everest of Blues Singers

2006 compilation of great performances by one of the truly great Blues artists of all-time. The majority of these songs come from the last ten years of his life and gives an overview of Leadbelly's vast range of song and style; Folk, Country Blues, prison songs (laments, hollers, field songs), and even children's songs! Most feature a solo Leadbelly with his twelve string guitar, playing slide and even tap dancing (!), but he is also heard accompanied by the likes of Sonny Terry on harmonica, Woody Guthrie on guitar and vocals and the Golden Gate vocal quartet on others. 28 tracks including 'Grey Goose', 'In The Evening When The Sun Goes Down, 'Red River' and more. Rev-ola. 2006.
