The best approach to the figure of LEADBELLY - born Huddie William Leadbetter - isoffered to us by Gordon Parks' 1976 bio-flick. Everything is in there: his hard life asa victim of racial prejudice, his strong reaction, which pushed him to crime andrevenge with plenty of animosity; and his music: gut-twisting, melancholic folk storiesbacked by his weeping guitar and baritone vocals. The movie is hard to find, but thisrecord will help the listener understand Leadbelly and enjoy some of the best bluestunes ever performed, including the famed title track, "Black Betty", that recently pop legend Tom Jones reinterpretedas his own tribute to this blues giant.Track listing - Side A: 1.
