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.

Pretty sure Woody’s recordings are mostly over on Smithsonian/Folkways,(for now)Some at the Library of Congress issued by Electra/Rounder in the 90s and are streaming but the extensive notes are missing 😤
#Folkways keeps the old Arhoolie Records albums available — including tons of #zydeco #conjunto & #cajun #accordion because unlike the rest of the US folk revival, Austrian-born Chris Strachwitz was not afraid of the squeezebox

Let us wave a flag for the Late Great #HarveyMilk.. Thus album is fantastic, music for the youth but not necessarily only for younger ears. #MrGregandCassMcCombs on #Folkways..https://folkways.si.edu/mr-greg-and-cass-mccombs/sing-and-play-new-folk-songs-for-children

So yesterday I shared the news about the Friends of #Folkways effort -- $5 a month, you can stream everything in their catalog and affiliated labels, https://folkways.si.edu/friends-of-folkways for more -- and today I'm currently tripping out on this amazingly earnest 1958 release about the sounds of the early satellites. This cover art is pure @quartzcity among others. #music https://folkways.si.edu/voices-of-the-satellites/sounds/album/smithsonianth
