  • Summary

  • The mythology of Lead Belly is formed early, thanks to his murky life history, some of which was spent in prison, where he was first recognized as an artist and recorded by Alan and John Lomax for the Library of Congress. “In The Pines”, an almost gothic folk song of unknown origin, becomes a signature song for him. Bob Dylan discovers it on an acetate at Alan Lomax’s home, and uses the song to embrace traditional folk only so that he can throw it away, putting him on a path to going electric, much as Muddy Waters had done years before in Chicago. Years later, Kurt Cobain reclaims the song, seen from his vantage as a moment of musical purity.
