Leadbelly Sings Folk Songs is a remastered compilation album of American folk songs sung by legend Leadbelly accompanied by Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, and Sonny Terry, originally recorded by Moses Asch in the 1940s and re-released in 1989 by Folkways Records.
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings called it a "good LP," but one that has been superseded by superior reissues.
All track information and credits were taken from the CD liner notes.[2]
