Leadbelly - The Definitive Leadbelly [Catfish] (3 Disc set)
Styles: Country Blues, Acoustic Blues, Folk-Blues, Folksongs, Songster
Released: 2002
Label: Catfish
Art: front
Notes: For some reason very few people know about this compilation. I'm not sure why, as it's definitely the best Leadbelly compilation on the market. The sound quality is great, it's comprehensive without being too long, and it's got great liner notes. The way the songs are divided on the discs is great too. Disc one contains most of the big hits, making it a sort of greatest hits album, while discs two and three contain more rarities and alternate takes. Definitely recommended for any Leadbelly fan or anyone looking for an introduction to the artist. ~ Aaron Smith
