Good Night, Irene Indeed-In Honor Of Folk Legend Lead Belly
No question Lead Belly (Huddie Ledbetter [maybe sic]) along with Woody Guthrie, Josh White, Pete Seeger and the Weavers were the talent, the folk talent, that we who passed through that now glorious folk minute of the early 1960s owed a debt to for keeping the music alive, keeping us suppled with tunes, popular tunes in their time, until those songwriters from our own time gathered voice and lyrics. So any efforts to preserve what guys like the Lead Belly put together are entirely welcome in this quarter.
Clink on the link below to hear about the latest efforts to play homage to one of the forebears of the folk revival.
