The original folk music collected by Lomax is as good as it gets. Huddy Ledbetter's appeal is, in part, due to the fact that he is singing his guts. Plain, simple and unvarnished. If Moby had an original thought in his head he would invent his own crap for the Ravers. What next? Raver versions of classic Negro Spirituals or Gregorian Chant?
