Legal Trouble: His prison releases became part of the myth, with songs, petitions, and folklorist attention all feeding the story of a dangerous man turned folk source. Scene Ecology: Alan Lomax’s recordings helped move Leadbelly from regional Black folk tradition into the Library of Congress and the later folk revival canon. 3/13/26 LM 6/13/2026 CC Show more
