For anyone who doesnt know (many may already) but Leadbelly was a talent less individual who left home as a rubbish muscian and alledgedly sold his soul to the devil at the Crossroads (hence clapton, hendrix reference to Crossroads etc)

 

He went back home as an amazing blues player and became famous for his music, he was eventually poisoned by the husband of a jealous fan I believe.

 

Also have a lot of time for Billie Holiday she is one hell of a female blues artist. John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf etc etc all great classics.
