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). -
