As part of the 6 Music Artist Collection on Beck, a chance to hear the story of Leadbelly, the folk singer who was a great influence on a young Beck David Hansen, who, as a busker in his youth, would often play versions of Leadbelly songs in Lafayette Park in Los Angeles.

Eric Burdon of the Animals examines the life, music and legacy of American folk singer Huddie Ledbetter (otherwise known as Leadbelly), who had a major influence on popular music on both sides of the Atlantic during the 20th Century. Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, Nirvana and even ABBA have all cited him as an influence yet he remains far from a household name.
