Track of the Week - 24 December 2017
Because Christmas is a-coming.
Lead Belly (or Leadbelly) was a folk and blues musician who died in 1949 but became a massive influence on, and was covered by, many of the legends of the rock music era.
Lonnie Donegan, an inspiration for The Beatles, was a Lead Belly disciple. Nirvana fans will be well aware of that band's version of 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' from their MTV Unplugged session.
This may have been recorded in the 1940s but not released until the 1960s.
