  • @sideshowbobmarley Most o those were old folk songs already remember, he mostly just recorded stuff that was already around

  • thats cool you know, spiderbait introduced me to this song, then to a good band "ram jam," and all lead me here with one word to say...... AWESOME

  • This is where its at.

  • @138hyde Jack White introduced me to Lead Belly

  • @sideshowbobmarley That was actually a myth that John Lomax and Leadbelly let slide.

  • Leadbelly was the OG..dude killed folk and just released number 1 hits in order to get pardoned now thats gangsta fuck you lil wayne..and plus how many of his songs are used by others..Black Betty, Pick a Bale of Cotton, Mignight Special, House of the Rising Sun and the list goes on..

  • @killerdillr yeah just sad!

  • @ScotsmanRex if you listen to the sound - you will hear a kind of "whip" sound...listen to the way it is sung, you can almost feel the pain as the whip goes down your spine.

  • @killerdillr WOW did not know wow just sad what America was!
