Correcting Label mis-infortmation, Feb 28 2007
By Irroub Golb "Blogbourri" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Goodnight Irene (Audio CD)
According to the label, this is a reissue of his "first commercially available album" (which would be "Negro Sinful Songs," released in 1939). They also claim that most of these tracks were recorded "in the New York studios of Musicraft Records in 1939." As far as I can tell, neither statement is true! First, the track list is entirely different from "Negro Sinful Songs." More importantly, the liner notes give us contrary recording dates of August of 1943, February 17, 1944, and April 19, 1944 (a full four to five years after his first album came out!)[...]This was my first Lead Belly album, and it certainly isn't a bad place to start. Just beware what you're actually purchasing. Misinformation like this is why it's so hard to know which CDs of Lead Belly's music to buy so you don't end up with twelve copies of the exact same recording sessions.

Hear it now and later, Nov 30 2000
By Elemental - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Goodnight Irene (Audio CD)
A great record. If you have problems with decades old audio maybe you shouldn't bother, or at don't whine about it not sounding good enough. Get over it. This CD has great songs on it that you can still hear directly and inderectly throughout the rock & roll canon. To me, that's good stuff, I enjoy hearing what turned people on long ago. Besides, as folk/blues recording go, this one is one of the best.

Great singer/songwriter., May 14 2009
By Baldur Thorsteinsson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Goodnight Irene (Audio CD)
This is a great album to understand why so many rock/folk musicians look back in time for their direction, so many good songs.My favorite is of course Goodnight Irene, but the best cover of that song is performed by Ronnie Lane of the Small Faces and the Faces at his A.R.M.S concert where his is joined performing this song by, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck and a host of other greats.
So emotional, listen to that version.
Listmania!
