LEGENDARY

Описание: Lead Belly's captivating 1940 Library of Congress recording session with Alan Lomax, featuring monologues on square dances and "Sookey Jumps," stands as a cornerstone of American folk music history and African American cultural heritage. In particular, the lively performance of "Green Corn"—a spirited sukey jump reel evoking Southern plantation dances, complete with infectious choruses like "Green corn, come along Cholly" and vivid references to standing around the "jimmy-john" (demijohn liquor bottle)—captures the raw energy of early blues and folk traditions, blending Huddie Ledbetter's masterful 12-string guitar, rhythmic tap dancing, and storytelling prowess. This archival gem, preserved through Lomax's field recordings, offers invaluable insight into pre-war Delta blues, work songs, and dance tunes, making it essential listening for fans of authentic roots music, Lead Belly legacy collections, and ethnomusicology enthusiasts seeking timeless examples of Black American folk songs and resilient cultural expression.
