If you're already a big Lead Belly acolyte then this is gold. What about the rest of us? You better be ready to commit, to really get wrapped up in the whole experience, because you're in for:
- 96 songs
- (35 are Lead Belly acapella)
- over the course of 4 hours
And I can't tell you to pick and choose, if you're going to do this you're all in. You're going to hear big soulful singing, snippets of banter, remembered desperation, rattling guitar strings, cracks of cranky attitude, sunlight through golden dust motes between floorboards. The same song done different ways, a meandering endless night of songs pouring out, and afterwards you will feel the man in ways beyond song.
It's a big investment, and it is no thrill ride, and I was not blown away musically exactly. But that full-through listen is an experience if you're looking for one 3.5/5
