Smithsonian Folkways

Lucinda Williams is an American rock, folk, blues, and country music singer and songwriter. Born on January 26, 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, she began recording albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s with a traditional country and blues sound. Despite receiving little attention from radio or the media during this time, her self-titled album released in 1988 brought her into the spotlight. With a unique blend of genres and heartfelt lyrics, Lucinda Williams has become a respected figure in the music industry.

Throughout her career, Lucinda Williams has showcased her versatility as an artist by exploring various musical styles. Her powerful vocals combined with introspective songwriting have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Known for capturing raw emotions through her music, she continues to create soulful melodies that resonate with listeners.

As the daughter of a renowned poet Miller Williams, Lucinda's artistic talent runs deep within her family roots. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and societal observations, she crafts songs that touch upon universal themes of love, loss, and resilience.

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.

Back In Stock

American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams' Southern blues roots are unmistakable on her debut record Ramblin' on My Mind, showcasing the artistry that would make her an icon. Recorded in Mississippi in the late 1970s, the album features a collection of traditional folk and country standards arranged and performed by Williams, with intimate accompaniment by John Grimaudo on his six-string guitar. Her raw and drawly voice is as curvy and natural as a back road as she wistfully explores the familiar melodies of Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, and the Memphis Jug Band, among others.

The vinyl reissue of Ramblin' on My Mind, which includes a liner notes booklet with the song lyrics, housed in an original Folkways-style tip-on jacket, is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums in their collection.
