Leadbelly & Woody Guthrie - Folkways: The Original Vision (1988)

In 1988, Folkways records released the grammy winning tribute album to Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly titled "Folkways: A Vision Shared", which featured covers of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly recorded by popular artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Wilson, and more. Along with that release, they also released this album, which contains the original recordings by Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. However, one song that was on the tribute album is absent from this album due to the fact that there's no known recording of it, but instead they've added 6 bonus tracks that aren't on the tribute album.
