i'm sure someone here knows.. i dj a blues show once a week at my school station and i've been trying to find the original of led zeppelin's "gallows poll." i know i've played it before, but i can't remember for the life of me who sang it, and i can't find it online. can anyone help me out?

and for kicks, who are your favorite blues artists? i tend to try to stick to prewar blues on my shift, but the station library is pretty limited pre 1970 and i'm starting to feel like i play the same artists over and over.

Was it Leadbelly?

yeah, Iam thinkin' Huddie.

What would really be cool is finding the original When the Levee Breaks.

Allmusic sez Leadbelly, Odetta (!) and...Tex Ritter.

thanks. i thought it might've been leadbelly but i looked through my stack of leadbelly records and couldn't find that song.. maybe i found it on a random comp or something.

Laura,

You are not Japan anymore!

I gotta bring you those fucked up pre-depression blues LP's I found.
