Lucinda Williams, Ramblin’ On My Mind, 1979 on Folkways

Attributed to “Lucinda” mono-nymically, this was Williams’ debut solo album, released in 1979 on Folkways (which became Smithsonian Folkways in 1987).

She’s accompanied by  John Grimaudo on 6-string guitar (she plays 12-string and sings), and the album was produced by Tom Royals, an attorney for whom this is the only producing credit – he was a friend of her father. It was recorded at Malaco Studios in Jackson, Mississippi.

It’s a collection of blues, folk, and country covers, some traditional and some by named artists: Robert Johnson, A.P. Carter, Memphis Minnie, Sleepy John Estes, Hammie Nixon, Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Joe Hayes and Jack Rhodes.

My copy is a 2021 reissue, but I’m not sure where I got it from.

Seeing an ad announcing that the venerable #Folkways Records (#SmithsonianFolkways these days) is looking for someone with "DSP" experience, which I'm just enough of a geek to realize couldn't mean Digital Signal Processor, but I'm also nostalgic about pre-commercialism Usenet and know nothing about digital marketing and online ad sales...
Found an alternative DSP for Folkways to look at:
