Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie

There are only 4 known video's in existence of these legend's playing. I thought I'd put them up considering most people Don't know about these guy's. Leadbelly is my favorite blues/folk musician , his music is the purest form of blues I've ever heard considering the rugged life he had and is also the best 12 string guitarist I've ever heard. It's a shame he never got filmed playing his best stuff.He's been ripped off by countless artists and it really pisses me off that he get's no credit.

I recommend everyone who read's this to pick up a couple Leadbelly CD's , he's great on the 12 string.

Both real artists from the real America that will "NEVER" be replicated. These guy's were the real deal and never made any big money.
