At this point in Lead Belly's career he had split with John Lomax and was mainly recording with Moe Asch.[1] In August 1943, Lead Belly recorded six songs for Asch.[2]: 306–07 These songs were likely released as singles before being compiled into an album. In April 1944, Asch stated that Lead Belly was paid $250 for a special run of 10,000 copies of "How Long Blues," a cover of Leroy Carr's 1928 song.[2]: 226 Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that in June 1944, Songs by Lead Belly was issued as a new album.[3] Songs by Lead Belly (catalog number: Asch A-343) was Lead Belly's third album for Moe Asch. It was released as a three-disc collection of 10" 78 rpm records, with notes prepared by Charles Edward Smith.[4]
