Title Note

Personnel: Leadbelly (vocals, acoustic guitar).

Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl.

This two-disc set gives a fully satisfying dose of the down-home folk-blues magic of the man they call Leadbelly. With only an acoustic guitar, an itinerant lifestyle, and a repertoire that included traditional ballads, political songs, kids' tunes, and blues, among myriad others, Leadbelly was the mythic archetype for the early American folksinger.

Leadbelly's discography is so large and varied that boiling down his best performances to 15 tracks may seem a foolhardy enterprise, but disc one of BLUESMAN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION does just that to fine effect. Many of the singer's staples are here, including "Goodnight Irene," "John Hardy," and "Midnight Special." Disc two features a 1949 concert in which Leadbelly rolls through such favorites as "Rock Island Line" and "Skip to My Lou." There's something elementally American about the music of Leadbelly, and the BLUESMAN box captures that quality perfectly.
