Smithsonian Folkways

In 1987, following the death of Moses Asch, the Smithsonian Institution acquired from his estate the rights, papers, and masters for Folkways Records. This was done with the Smithsonian's promise to keep all of the 2168 Folkways titles in print, which they continue to do to this day under the *Smithsonian Folkways* banner.

Under their ownership, *Smithsonian Folkways* has become a renowned label in the music industry. With a commitment to preserving and promoting traditional folk music from around the world, they have curated an extensive collection of albums that showcase diverse cultural expressions.

As one of the leading authorities on folk music, *Smithsonian Folkways* offers a wide range of genres including blues, country, gospel, jazz, and world music. Their catalog features legendary artists such as Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie as well as lesser-known but equally talented performers who have made significant contributions to their respective musical traditions.

Charlie Parr is an American country blues musician hailing from Minnesota. Born in Austin and raised in Hollandale, he began his music career in Duluth, where he still resides today. With a soulful sound that resonates with audiences, Parr has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry.

Parr's unique style draws inspiration from various genres including folk, blues, and country. His heartfelt lyrics and raw vocals captivate listeners, creating an intimate connection between artist and audience. Influenced by *Possessed by Paul James*, *William Elliott Whitmore*, and other talented performers, Parr's music showcases his passion for storytelling.

Throughout his career, Parr has released numerous albums that have garnered critical acclaim. His discography includes notable works such as "Stumpjumper" and "Dog." With each release, he continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.
