Leadbelly – ‘Grey Goose’
I knew roughly who Lead Belly was through Lonnie Donegan, who my father had some old 78s of. I was about three or four. But I didn’t really start listening to him until I got an album off my pal Sexton Ming in about 1981. I used to listen to Lead Belly, who is folk-based, and blues people like John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters when I was painting in the 1980s, after I was chucked out of art school.
