Playlist Description

It's Huddie Ledbetter's birthday week (different sources cite his birthday falling between January 20th and January 29th some time between 1885 and 1889 [a draft card he filled out in 1942 lists 1/23/89]), which is as good an excuse as any to make a playlist in his honor. Not that you need one. As a songster who technically pre-dated the blues, he is a true American treasure who was instrumental in passing along the traditional music of the South, which is worthy of celebrating any time.
