  • leadbelly is byfar one of the greatest of all time. if you are not fimiliar with his work, check it out its the deffintion of blues/folk/rock and roll and muisic in general I've been a life long nirvana fan and have just discoverd why he was Kurts Cobains (quote)"favorite proformer"

  • good job dude and solid recording aswell.

    btw the song is propably older than leadbelly. its a north american classic. he did the first record.

  • BORING!

  • Where did you sleep THIS night ??? o_O

  • please check my version of this song (: THANKS! watch?v=oa9LQ8lhUDY

  • NO Lead Belly NO Beatles- I didnt make that up George Harrison did! Go to the indiegogo site & look up leadbellyfilm

  • *____________________*

  • awesome

    

  • U Look a little like to Kurt... I Like Ur Voice... Really It's Amazing.. 

  • This was uncomfortable to watch, especially with the eye thing at 4 11....

  • the song actually wasnt made by ledbelly wither..that song had been covered byy lots of artist over the years...it was played way before ledbelly recorded it in the early 1940's

  • Are you Cobain's son?!

  • Two thumbs way up! Good stuff man.

  • nice style dude

  • I thought the eye thing at 4:11 was a tad bit cheesy, BUT muiscally I think you played it awesome and your voice did it justice, nothing bad musically, just the eye thing seemed a little corny. Great cover man keep playing!

  • whe I seen the guy drinking from a bottle and fucking round I though "This guy will be crap", but you can and sing like a professional.

    Nice one

  • Don't listen to haters man. I'm just 13 and even I can recognize your talent, fucking amazing, you do kurt justice

  • you do this song some justice mate well done..fuck the haters..

  • I think if you just play the song instead of playing for You-tube, it would sound alot better.. You just seem like your over performing.. IE the eye look.. 

  • Cool cover, man!

  • You suck at singing

  • Its a good cover....but for this song you need to be more grungy

  • pathetic...........

  • ROFL 4:11

  • best cover of this song on youtube, by far

  • well done

  • vocal 1/10

  • Kudos man... Very nice...

  • good, very good, good work man !

  • wow youre fuckin insane. loved how you had some beer right before you started haha epic.

  • Very nice bluesy performance. Very nice, mate. Greetings from Greece.

  • HEYY NICE!!

    WATCH:

    watch?v=eDtVvMPOkSI

  • you sing as kurt O_O

  • I heard this song the other day and decided I had to learn it. I feel bad that I didn't hear your version until now. Anyway, excellent job bro! The playing style, the vocals. Dead on. The screaming at the end gave me chills. I like the eye thing - right where it belongs. I wish I could scream like that.

  • I'm impressed. This wasn't half-bad. One thing, though, it's not actually a Leadbelly song, even if Kurt Cobain accredits the song to him at the MTV Unplugged show. First known recording of it is since 1909 and it likely dates back to the 1870's. Just thought you might like to know. And again, good job.

  • that was badass! i wish i could play it on my uncle's old fender acoustic. i know his guitar is older then me.32 i am

  • hey ! woau genial

  • Muito bom.

    Parabéns!!!

  • awsome!!!!

  • nica man

  • Actually, the song itself dates to at least 1888 which predates Louvin brothers by almost 40 years. Like most blues it is much older than when it was origionally recorded.

  • Comment removed

  • except that Leadbelly recorded his versions 12 years prior to the Louvin Brothers...

    The first recorded version is "The Rolling Mill Blues" by Peg Leg Howell in 1940.

    Leadbelly recorded his version in 1944.

    The Song itself though dates back far earlier, and exact authorship is unknown.

  • Gostei muito, legal!!!!

    Parabéns!!!

  • отлично! лучшее из того что я видел !!!!

    super!

  • good

    you voice is beautiful

  • wow, great cover. And you have very special voice:P Thank you for this video.

  • Fucking GREAT !

  • shit hot

  • good job

  • Great Cover

  • un po' piacione ma bella voce, è vero. Poi magari quando si fa una cover a me piace sempre più se la si stravolge, e si aggiunge qualcosa rispetto all'originale... ma va bene lo stesso :)

  • VACANO

  • awesome job!

  • goog job!

  • very very very horny.

  • yes it is a leadbelly song u tool!

  • Not a Leadbelly song. "In the Pines, also known as "Black Girl" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?", is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the 1870s, and is believed to be Southern Appalachian in origin. The identity of the song's author is unknown, but it has been recorded by dozens of artists in numerous genres."

  • Great jjob

  • Is not a Leadbelly song. (Black girl, Wikipedia...)

  • it doesnt sound anything like the original

  • ok, but it still sounds good fucker! Jesus!

  • what the fuck do you think COVER means???? idiot

  • i agree with you,but we have to admit that he has a killer voice

  • Brilliant!!! I love that song and You did it so darn good I could die.

    Thank You!!

  • Great work, man! I like the song and you covered it in a the Kurt-way. Nice one! 5*

  • nice!

  • very heart felt ,tho not as good as the original because altho it was very heart felt it was also a little bit too aggrasive in my personal opinion ;;;;;;;;;;;was good tho 5*'s thumbs up bruv

  • I like how you took a drink of Beer in the beginning.

    Thumbs up!

  • That was gr8 man you're pro please sent much vid

  • i like it. i think at the screaming part you sounded kind of like jack white, but thats not a bad thing. it was good.

  • even mimiced the looking at the camera at the smae moment Kurt did in his performance of this song.

  • just started the guitar , and I want this to be my first song, need to get the music. really well done

  • Your making it sound like sex...

  • I assume that's a good thing?

  • bad ass!

  • Great job. Your fingers got lost for a moment shortly after you started singing (at around 47 seconds into the video). Nice speedy recovery.

  • Love it. The part where you came in screaming started out a bit strange, but it sounded fine after that. Awesome

  • awesome man

  • WOW!!!!! that was one kick ass cover, I've been sitting here listening to some of your covers and am very impressed especially with this one, I'm sure Kurt would be a proud man if he could hear this.

  • this song have no artist this song was found in 1870 (not sure) leadbelly was the first artist in give fame at this song (im sorry my english but im latino yeaa) viva kurt siempre t recordaremos como el mejor

  • no problem on the english, I understood what you was trying to say and yes I know that Leadbelly was the first one to do it but I didn't know anything about it until Kurt did it with Nirvana.

  • great cover I love this song ... you have a great image too xoxo

  • AWESOME!! I have listen to all verisons of this song. A matter of fact, the first memory I have of it was on Coal Miners daughter when I was younger. LMAO!!!! THANK GOD you didnt sing it like that! Like I said AWESOME!!!

  • leadbelly was an amazing artist.

  • beautiful man.

  • Something in the Way, All Apologies, Rape Me, Heartshaped Box, Penny Royal Tea, Lithium, Plateau - more Nirvana covers man, that was great!
