Lead Belly, aka Huddie Ledbetter, recorded many sing-alongs, play party songs, and folk tunes for children over his storied career. Lead Belly Sings for Children collects them all in one neat package.
Besides being an excellent document of African-American folk song history, this CD is a great way to introduce kids to a one-of-a-kind musician and singer, because children will never hear anyone perform songs live in Lead Belly's unique style ever again. Lead Belly Sings for Children is historical, powerful, and, above all, fun.
