De muzikale invloed van de Amerikaanse folk/blueszanger/gitarist Huddie Leadbetter (1888 - 1949), beter bekend als Leadbelly, is zeer groot. Nummers als Goodnight Irene, Midnight Special en Where Did You Sleep Last Night behoren nu door zijn toedoen tot ons collectieve onderbewuste. Deze door JSP samengestelde 4-cdbox is misschien wel het beste carriÞre-overzicht wat er momenteel leverbaar is. Er is geput uit de archieven van The Library Of Congress (Lomax), van ARC (Columbia) en Moses Asch (Smithsonian). Essentieel!
