„Rock Island Line" (H. Ledbetter) Recorded: 1944 Lead Belly (vcl) (g), Paul Howard (cithare) Huddie William Ledbetter, (January, 1888 -- December 6, 1949) was an American folk and blues musician, notable for his clear and forceful singing, his virtuosity on the twelve string guitar, and the rich songbook of folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Leadbelly or Lead Belly. Though many releases list him as "Leadbelly," he himself spelled it "Lead Belly." This is also the usage on his tombstone, as well as the Lead Belly Foundation. Although he most commonly played the twelve string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, concertina, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar. In other recordings he just sings while clapping his hands or stomping his foot. The topics of Lead Belly's music covered a wide range of subjects, including gospel songs; blues songs about women, liquor and racism; and folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding and dancing. He also wrote songs concerning the newsmakers of the day, such as President Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Jean Harlow, the Scottsboro Boys and multi-millionaire Howard Hughes. Fame in 1986.

In Part one we take a look on Leadbelly's life before he met John Lomax, the folklorist. Part two starts when he finally meets Mr. Lomax (his ticket out of jail). I'm not any music professional, i just love history and music too and making this was both fun and interesting. All the information on the video i have googled from different sources, impossible to remember them all but im not trying to own their writings, i have only mixed them to create one full story. I narriate the film myself so please forgive me if my english is not clear to understand in every part of the video. I'm maybe adding subtitles later so it's easier to watch. I could have inserted motion picture cuts on the video but since my slow computer freezed every time i tried to do that, i made decision to put only still pictures on this film. But the story is very interesting, i hope you like it, took me a few days to make this.

Lead Belly...House of the Rising Sun...From his first studio recordings, in New York City, 1939. In my opinion, this has never been surpassed. The Animals and Bob Dylan are excellent. But when Lead Belly says "Rock me" or "Go on back down there" it's not rock'nroll, it's not folk, it's not the blues...It's Lead Belly. The way he was meant to be heard. This 1939 recording session is the best Lead Belly I've heard. Don't think you know what Lead Belly sounds like until you've heard this.

Huddie William Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 -- December 6, 1949) was an iconic American folk, blues musician, and multi-instrumentalist, notable for his strong vocals, his virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the songbook of folk standards he introduced. He is best known as Lead Belly. Though many releases list him as "Leadbelly", he himself spelled it "Lead Belly". This is also the usage on his tombstone,[1][2] as well as of the Lead Belly Foundation.[3] In 1994 the Lead Belly Foundation contacted an authority on the history of popular music, Colin Larkin, editor of the Encyclopedia of Popular Music, to ask if the name "Leadbelly" could be altered to "Lead Belly" in the hope that other authors would follow suit and use the artist's correct appellation. Although Lead Belly most commonly played the twelve-string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and accordion.[4] In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar.

Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter was a man of sweeping appetites, for songs, for drink and for life. This made his music rugged and true, but also got him into his share of big trouble. Very big. Ledbetter, born on Jan. 29, 1885 on the Jeter Plantation near Mooringsport, La., would spend several stints in jail, once reportedly lived as a recluse from the law under an assumed name, and was known to resolve every-day conflict with violence right up until his early passing on Dec. 6, 1949. Thing is, he tore into musical pursuits with the same furious abandon, picking through all that came before and carrying it across the country. Lead Belly's original compositions, and his arrangements of traditional songs, would become one of the structural supports upon which popular American music was built. That's because Ledbetter, despite his outsized persona, had a careful ear: He internalized the resigned country blues laments of a bound but proud people; the dangerous late-night rumblings of Fannin Street flophouses and juke joints in Shreveport, La.'s legendary Bottoms section of town; the bubbling homemade music made after the work was done with cowbells, washboards, mouth organs and jugs; and the sweetly hopeful hymns heard at week's end echoing down the steps of a shotgun holy-rolling Sunday school class. In this way, Lead Belly would provide a living soundtrack for the Deep South at mid-century, both the local barn dance and the church raffle, the backstreet barbecue and the <b>...</b>

Probably recorded around the early 1940's. This is not a gospel song but the usual humorous social commentary one would expect from Woody. Featured here are of course his close friends - Leadbelly (vocal-guitar) Sonny Terry (Harmonica-wooos! and vocals) and Cisco Houston( guitar vocals) This song kind of points out some people and situations such as- Freedom of speech, homelessness, religious hypocrisy- etc. Personally the "preacher" verse is my favorite. lol And Leadbelly's guitar is very prominent here. Really stands out. Thanks for watching / listening!

BIOGRAPHY WRITTEN BY ME: sammynyman.blogspot.com Huddie William Ledbetter was born on January 29, 1885 on the Jeter Plantation near Mooringsport, Louisiana. He was the only child of his parents Wesley and Sally. Huddie and his parents moved to Leigh, Texas when he was five and it was there that he became interested in music, encouraged by his uncle Terrell who bought Huddie his first musical instrument, an accordion. It was some years later when Huddie picked up the guitar but by the age of 21 he had left home to wander around Texas and Louisiana trying to make his living as a musician. Over the next ten years Huddie wandered throughout the southwest eking out an existence by playing guitar when he could and working as a laborer when he had to. Huddie Ledbetter was the world's greatest cotton picker, railroad track liner, lover, and drinker as well as guitar player. This assertion came from no less an authority on the matter than Huddie himself. Since not everyone agreed with his opinion Huddie frequently found himself obliged to convince them. His convincing frequently landed him in jail. In 1916 Huddie was in jail in Texas on assault charges when he escaped. He spent the next two years under the alias of Walter Boyd. But then after he killed a man in a fight he was convicted of murder and sentenced to thirty years of hard labor at Huntsville, Texas' Shaw State Prison Farm. After seven years he was released after begging pardon from the governor with a song: Please <b>...</b>

This is a protest song from the 1930's written and preformed by the great blues musician Leadbelly. For those who do not know, the Jim Crow Laws where laws that prevented African Americans and other minorities from having the same rights as Whites. Many of the pictures are of blues musicians and civil rights activists such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and WEB Du Bois. This video is intended to be anti-racist so I do NOT want to see comments saying I am.

He is best known as Leadbelly or Lead Belly. Though many releases list him as "Leadbelly," he himself spelled it "Lead Belly." This is also the usage on his tombstone, as well as the Lead Belly Foundation. Although he most commonly played the twelve string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, concertina, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar. In other recordings he just sings while clapping his hands or stomping his foot. The topics of Lead Belly's music covered a wide range of subjects, including gospel songs; blues songs about women, liquor and racism; and folk songs about cowboys, prison, work, sailors, cattle herding and dancing. He also wrote songs concerning the newsmakers of the day, such as President Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Jean Harlow, the Scottsboro Boys and multi-millionaire Howard Hughes. Fame in 1986. The day of his birth has also been debated. The most common date given is January 20, but other sources suggest he was born on January 21 or 29. The only document we have <b>...</b>

If Fatboy Slim and Moby anno 1999 met deephouse then this is what it would sound like. The vocals takes you back to the best days of the big beat guru and keep it ultra cool with the filtered deephouse stabs and tight production. We bet this track will create some serious cheers in the clubs. Early Support by: Solomun, Tale Of Us, Lee Foss, DJ T, Deetron, Butch, Tim Green, Marc Romboy, Laurent Garnier, Dubfire, Alex Niggemann, Jimpster, MANIK, Kabale Und Liebe, Catz n Dogz, Kolombo, David August, Laura Jones, Daniel Bortz, SIS, Shaun Reeves, Paco Osuna, Hosh, Gel Abril, Alex Faltner, Saeed Younan, Audiojack, Carlo Lio + more.
