About the book
The book opens with the moment when Kurt Cobain performed 'In the Pines', a death-haunted song made famous by Leadbelly, the black ex-convict who was a touchstone of primeval folk authenticity in the '30s and '40s. But Leadbelly had been manipulated, marketed by the famous blues and folk collectors John and Alan Lomax, who forced him to perform in prison clothes and wouldn't let him sing the more sophisticated (or popular) material that really attracted him.
