MOG Editorial Review

Often confused for a strict blues man, Leadbelly was actuality one of the last of the traditional folk singers. Adapting many of his tunes from old slave songs and narratives, his standards and original cuts both hold storied themes from early 20th-Century America. From women, work, and liquor to cowboys, cattle herding, and racism, the two-time jailbird knows a thing or two about being down on your luck. The simply constructed album is a forceful collection of booming, commanding vocals and, as the title implies, folksy, blues-leaning riffs that indicate obvious mastery of the 12-string guitar.
AMG Review of King of the 12-String Guitar

Scott Yanow
All Music Guide

Although Huddie Ledbetter had recorded for the Library of Congress while still in jail in 1933, King of the 12-String Guitar contains some of the music from his earliest commercial recording date, only five months after getting out of prison for the second (and final) time. The majority of the material (other than the first four numbers) consists of alternate takes and previously unissued performances, although some of the numbers were formerly out on LPs by Folkways or Biograph. The music (ranging from blues to folk music) is highly recommended both to veteran collectors (who otherwise probably do not have most of these cuts) and to those just discovering the legendary and unique musician. Forty-six at the time, Leadbelly's powerful voice and his work on 12-string guitar are consistently memorable.
