Leadbelly (vocals, guitar).

Leadbelly originally recorded these 28 sides for Moses Asch's Folkways label, but when Folkways was placed in bankruptcy, they were released by Herbert Harris' Stinson Records instead (Harris had been a former partner of Asch in an earlier label enterprise called Asch-Stinson Records). Now, of course, the masters of these songs reside with the Smithsonian Folkways group, which has also issued these tracks in its legacy series. It's all vintage Leadbelly, and includes his signature recordings of "Goodnight Irene," "Rock Island Line," and "Bring Me a Little Water, Silvy," along with an interesting accordion-accompanied version of the outlaw ballad "John Hardy." ---Steve Leggett, allmusic.com
