  • It's March 2011 I'll be 60 next month...WOW...I have recently ( about a month ago ) been turned on too Hudie Ledbetter aka Leadbelly & since then I have tried too catch up with the Man...what a life he must have lead as a black man in the USA & dealing with the likes of JimCrow & killi'n a man & above all that STILL be able to churn out the most awe inspiring music & lyric which absolutely blows me away ( should U2 ) ...I digress

    Lovem

  • hey anybody! i wanna know when this comes out!!

  • check out " 12 string guitar fans " on facebook if you are into 12 strings...Lead Belly is the King

  • What ever happened to this project?

  • The leadbelly foundation is a beautiful thing and this doccumentary needs to be made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Leadbelly is as american as apple pie and the stars and stripes. And the world needs to hear his story.

  • Pete Seeger - 90 and still going...

  • same here. loving all of the lead belly music I can find in the shops. it was great to hear songs like "goodnight irene"....it puts so much more meaning into the song knowing lead belly wrote it.

    the 1970's film sucked. I would love to see a remake of it and I can't wait to see the documentary this year.

  • I know how you feel, I was even younger than you when I got into Leadbelly and other blues music. It's great to know that "I'm not the only one" in the younger generation that cherishes this kind of music.

  • No I'm new to this genre, I,ll check it out. I've always been fascinated with American culture in the early 20'th century but this music is so powerful, each artist seems to suffer for their art which adds to its quality. If there has been anything comparible its a rarity. As well as An Irishman I'm slightly proud of early Irish music on this genre
