American Folk Blues Anthology

Product Description In his lifetime Huddie Ledbetter spent a childhood picking cotton, was imprisoned twice, acted as driver for ballad hunter John Lomax, toured with Blind Lemon Jefferson and recorded hundreds of songs. The King of the 12 string had a style and unique voice that inspired blues and folk musicians alike although he would see no remuneration in his lifetime.
