Notes: Although the gimmicky subtitle of this release is "The Secret History of Rock & Roll," this music stands apart from merely being an influence on rockers 20 years later. The valuable release has all of the music recorded by folk/blues singer-guitarist Leadbelly during two sessions he cut for Victor in 1940. Thirteen of the 26 selections have Leadbelly joined by the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet and these were originally released as Midnight Special. The other 13 numbers are solo vehicles for Leadbelly that range from traditional story-telling to blues; highlights include the classic "Good Morning Blues," "TB Blues," "Sail On Little Girl, Sail On," "Alberta, "Roberta" and "Alabama Bound." Although a few of the numbers are a bit primitive, this set is an excellent introduction to the historic and wide-ranging music of Leadbelly.
