Grasshoppers, cornbread & icy cold lakes... Every river-bottom country song is great. THE place to start your journey with the ballad-hunter John Lomax phenomenon, Leadbelly. The production sounds as if were recorded by a campfire. Stirring blues, ragtime piano, slave songs, ballads, reels, spirituals and chain-gang hollers. Recorded in 1944 in Hollywood for Capitol Records when he was 60 years old. You can see a complete list of all Leadbelly discography, or go back to the Leadbelly tabs
