One of 17 Huddie Ledbetter albums on the Smithsonian Folkways label, SINGS FOLK SONGS is a superb collection of classic recordings of traditional tunes, most of which were arranged (and some written) by the man himself. Joined by friends (including Woody Guthrie) on backing vocals and harmonica, Leadbelly's resonant 12-string guitar and warm, enthusiastic singing charge through numbers like "There's A Man Going Round Taking Names" and "Corn Bread Rough."
The greatest delight of the album is the unhindered spirit of freedom and improvisation that pervades: gradually quickening tempos, shouts and hollers, minor flubs, and extemporaneous lyrics-- such as the duet with Woody Guthrie on "We Shall Be Free" and the chop-licking explication of all the pancakes available in heaven in "Good, Good, Good." Moreover, it is easy to see how these songs became and have remained so popular ("The Blood Done Sign My Name" is inescapably catchy). Leadbelly takes these wonderful songs and makes them even better.

| | Johnny Winter: The Woodstock Experience CDs (1969) Limited Edition
Sings Folk Songs songs
$15.95 
Also available in a 3-pack with SECOND WINTER and CAPTURED LIVE.
Among white blues singers of the 1960s, there were some who studied the music so intently they amazed even the genre's creators with their technical mastery. A select few, however, seemed to be born oozing authenticity, sounding just as soulful as the greatest black bluesmen while forging a completely new sound. Johnny Winter belonged in the second category. A long-haired hippie albino, he astounded initially skeptical listeners with his Howlin' Wolf-like vocals and wild Johnny Guitar Watson-esque guitar stylings. THE WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE showcases Winter's first taste of national exposure, first with his 1969 self-titled debut album, ...

| | Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band Sam's Big Rooster CD (2000)
Sings Folk Songs album
$13.59
Principally recorded at Studio Savoie Faire, Eunice, Louisiana. Includes liner notes by Duck Baker and Ann Savoy.
It is because of people like this that the future of Cajun music is secure, and this is because they have built a solid foundation from the past. They have researched the past, they know the whys and "where fors" of their heritage and its music. Because this is so solidly rooted in not just the past music but the intention of the people that made the music, it becomes a bridge to the future. It is a tribute to these three musicians that this disc has a life of its own and is not just an empty technical reproduction of the traditional music. Each of these musicians has a life of his own and interests outside of this group and this is one of the forces that creates the vibrancy in this disc. Marc Savoy has been a long acknowledged master of Cajun traditions ...
