Barrelhouse Blues II

Haven't done a blues episode in some time now! We have the multi-talented Becky Lynn to thank for this episode as she sparked my curiosity for the life and accomplishments of none other Leadbelly. A man who can sing himself out of a prison sentence is a man I want to be friends with. While you're learning about the Ledbetter and looking into buying some of Becky Lynn's records, enjoy this weeks playlist.
