Rating: 5
Summary: excellent reconstruction of a rambling life
Comment: very well put together biography based on a variety of sources. the authors present the myths and the 'facts' in a very cogent and objective manner allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. not only is leadbelly explored in detail, but this book also contains great descriptions of the places, times and character of leadbelly's world.

this book is also a nice read for those interested in john or alan lomax.

i only wish there had been more photos - but those that survive are accessible on-line.

Rating: 5
Summary: Definitive and Informative
Comment: This is a fascinating biography of one of this century's truly seminal artists, from his days in the Shreveport red light district to his jail terms in Huntsville and Angola, LA., on through his "discovery" by John and Alan Lomax. The book is exhaustively researched and will delight both blues fans and history buffs.

Rating: 5
Summary: A must have for music researchers
Comment: This well-written, well-researched book is THE source for Huddie Ledbetter/Leadbelly information.
