Lead Belly - Lead Belly's Legacy, Vol. 3: Early Recordings

These eight songs are the fruit of Lead Belly's first visit to New York in 1935, but the record company's financial downfall prevented all but two-"Pigmeat" and "Black Snake Moan"-from reaching the market. This album reverses that misfortune of unavailability, and the notes provide vignettes of the bluesman's experiences.
