Remember Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) talking about Lead Belly and how he wrote.....In the Pines, just before doing his version? Well Lead Belly didn't record until 1934, this is from 1927.....
And Lead Belly's classic Midnight Special is a cover of a Cryin' Sam Collins tune.
My home music library on par with any radio station. Wider variety for sure.
Lead Belly discovered in the Angola Prison for murder., hard to believe but his talent got him released.
