Questa è una nuova edizione di "Lead Belly: A Life in Pictures", la ricca biografia per immagini del leggendario musicista folk americano Lead Belly, originariamente pubblicata da Steidl nel 2007. Il volume racchiude un tesoro di fotografie rare, ritagli di notizie, programmi di concerti, corrispondenza personale (incluse lettere di Woody Guthrie), album di dischi, premi e altri cimeli, alcuni dei quali sono stati scoperti in un baule di Brooklyn, conservati al sicuro dalla moglie di Lead Belly. Nato Huddie William Ledbetter (1889-1949), Lead Belly fu un influente bluesman della Louisiana che scrisse e interpretò alcune delle canzoni più amate del ventesimo secolo, tra cui "The Midnight Special", "Cotton Fields", "Rock Island Line", "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" e la sua firma "Goodnight, Irene".  L'eredità di Lead Belly è significativa: Bob Dylan lo ha citato come il suo primo riferimento nel suo discorso di accettazione del premio Nobel nel 2016, mentre altri musicisti influenzati da lui includono Van Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Plant, Dan Zanes, Bonnie Raitt e Beck.
