They tried to bury Leadbelly, but Leadbelly wouldn't lie down. You can't bury a black legend like Leadbelly!"; "He had a violent past. He fought hard. He loved hard. And he even did some hard time. And he poured all that living into some of the greatest music America ever sang. From 'Rock Island Line' to 'Midnight Special' - from 'Goodnight, Irene' to 'Cotton Fields Back Home' - his songs told his story. He couldn't hold back... on life or on music.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some creases around the edges and a single pinhole at center. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
