LeadBelly~1st press OZ LP Live NM Folk Blues 1973 Playboy
Leadbelly
Live 1949
Original OZ 1st Press Lp released in 1973 on Playboy Records. Cat: PB119. This album has a gatefold sleeve.
Leadbelly's solo public concert, from June of 1949 at the University of Texas at Austin, has been circulating around at least since the early '70s when Playboy's short-lived record label issued this on vinyl. It's a poignant and beautiful performance by a man who was drawing on some of the last strength he would have for such endeavors despite his obvious enjoyment, each of his 61 years shows in the performance here, and it's very sad to hear him mention his illness (ALS) obliquely and the idea that he was going to be all right, thanks to his doctor. Still, the man's playing, though slowed, is still wonderfully skilled as he coaxes rich sounds (if not in the briskest rhythms) from his 12-string guitar, and his singing of the blues and folk numbers in his repertory, under the weight of illness and weariness, is hauntingly vivid
