Description
This collection of songs by Lead Belly was assembled by Folkways founder Moses Asch from recordings made in the early to mid-1940s, and it focuses primarily on Lead Belly’s observations on the hate and racism that permeated America and the world during this turbulent period of history. Songs like “Jim Crow� and “Bourgeois Blues� reflect his anger at the discrimination he and others experienced as African Americans, while “Hitler� was his condemnation of Hitler and anti-Semitism. This vinyl reissue is part of a Folkways Records’ series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released on the record label, continuing with Lead Belly (FW-LP-02034), Dave Van Ronk (FWLP03818), and Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry (FWLP02327). -
