      Description hide

      “The hard name of a harder man” - mit diesen Worten charakterisierte Woody Guthrie seinen Freund Lead Belly (1888 – 1949), der mit bürgerlichen Namen Huddie Ledbetter hieß. Auch wenn man ihn als Sänger nicht kennt, seine Musik ist längst fester Bestandteil des amerikanischen Folkmusik-Erbes geworden und seine Songs unvergesslich. Nicht zuletzt weil sie von Musikgrößen aufgegriffen und gecovert wurden, so etwa von den Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Van Morrison, Nirvana, Odetta, Little Richard, Pete Seeger, Frank Sinatra und Tom Waits. Der schön gestaltete Bildband mit 5 CDs enthält wunderbare Farbabbildungen, Schwarzweiß-Fotos und Abdrücke von Originalcovers und dokumentiert eine spannende Zeit zwischen Aufbruch und Vergangenheit - eine musikalische Hommage an einen großen Songschreiber.
