Leadbelly's recording of "Midnight Special" is famed. The storied Bluesman may well have learned the old prisoner song whilst serving time in Sugar Land, Texas stony lonesome Imperial Farm Prison. As surely as he couldn't have imagined (possibly soon-to-be-besotted) English rousters standing and delivering a lusty throated revisitation, Leadbelly can be envisioned raising his glass in salutation.
