This week on Brew Crime, we explore the life and legacy of the legendary blues musician Lead Belly. Mike dives into the complex story of a man whose extraordinary talent was matched by a tumultuous life marked by run-ins with the law. Discover how his music and history shed light on the struggles of the blues genre and its ties to systemic injustice.
