1	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Leadbelly Leadbelly stands like a cornerstone in modern folk music. He showed that folk songs didn't have to be 300 years old and originate from the British Isles; instead they could be born out of American experience. Absolutely the Best offers a number of Leadbelly classics including "Roberta," "Midnight Special," and "In New Orleans (House of the Rising ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.54!

3	The Definitive Leadbelly (2002) more music like this by Leadbelly Although he has often been labeled a blues artist, Leadbelly had a much wider palette than that, and routinely sang spirituals, work songs, folk ballads, and children's pieces, and he had an amazing affinity for material that would later find its way into the pop world. Songs like "Goodnight Irene," "Midnight Special," "Gallows Pole," "Rock Island ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
4	The Tradition Masters (2002) more music like this by Leadbelly Along with Woody Guthrie, Huddie Leadbetter modernized folk music, laying down a sturdy foundation for the folk revival that would blossom in the late '50s and early '60s. And even if one has never heard of Leadbelly, he or she's probably heard the Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun" or Nirvana's take on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." ... see all copies from $10.18! new only from $11.09!
5	Easy Rider Blues (2003) more music like this by Leadbelly The sound on this 16-track Leadbelly collection is clear and uncluttered, and it sounds like a live concert recording, or perhaps a live-in-the-studio radio recording, or maybe even several Alan Lomax tracks from the early- to mid-1940s run through VAP (Virtual Ambience Processing). At any rate, the sound is great, and the versions of "Irene," ... see all copies from $3.81! new only from $3.90!

8	Looking for a Home (2001) more music like this by Odetta Harry Belafonte once wrote of blues singer Odetta: "Few possess the fine understanding of a song's meaning which transforms it from a melody into a dramatic experience." Pete Seeger heard this collection and declared, "I've been waiting for this album for 50 years!" In continuing her tribute to the classics, Odetta turns her legendary vocal ... see all copies from $14.77! new only from $14.77!
