Leadbelly: The Challenge

The late Dick Rosmini (12-strings guitar) and Artie Traum (6-strings) did most of the superb soundtrack for this rare bio-pic, "Leadbelly", directed by Gordon Parks (of "Shaft" fame) in 1976.

Classic, I was a little girl when this was filmed, I remember being on the set when it was made. I haven't seen in a long time. Great job Mr Mosely on playing my great grandfather.

@mikerickson01 This is based on the song, 'one dime blues', by Blind Lemon Jefferson.

I highly recommend this movie, I just love it, it's really really good. It's become one of my all time favorites, the kind you don't mind watching multiple times. You can find copies on eBay for $10 and less! It use to be really scarce & hard to find, it's is uncommon to find, but check eBay, I got mine!

The song sounds like Lonesome Road Blues (Going Down the Road Feeling Bad.)
