Smithsonian Folkways

In 1987, following the death of Moses Asch, owner of Folkways Records, 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 leading label in preserving and promoting traditional music from around the world. With a vast catalog that spans various genres including folk, blues, jazz, world music and spoken word recordings. Their commitment to keeping these important cultural artifacts accessible is commendable.

With Label Code: LC 9628 / LC 09628 and copyright credits given to [l270847], *Smithsonian Folkways* stands as a testament to their dedication in preserving musical heritage for generations to come.

Cass McCombs is an American singer-songwriter, born in 1977 in Concord, California, USA. With a unique blend of folk and indie rock, his music captivates audiences around the world. Inspired by artists such as *Woods*, *Damien Jurado*, and *Smog*, McCombs has created a distinct sound that resonates with listeners.

Known for his introspective lyrics and soulful melodies, McCombs has released numerous critically acclaimed albums throughout his career. His music explores themes of love, loss, and self-reflection, drawing listeners into a world of raw emotion and heartfelt storytelling.

Influenced by iconic musicians like *Kurt Vile* and *M. Ward*, McCombs continues to push boundaries with his innovative songwriting style. His songs have been described as poetic masterpieces that effortlessly blend genres and evoke deep emotions.

The tender and curious songs on the first album by songwriter and pre-school teacher Mr. Greg and acclaimed indie chameleon Cass McCombs celebrate the joys of learning and discovery. The pair of longtime friends make connections for young children just beginning to find their own way in the world and for parents regaining their own childlike sensibilities. Set to tunes straight from the mold of Ella Jenkins and Woody Guthrie, the duo sings about the importance of friendship, understanding those different from yourself, and taking care of your body. They also pay musical tribute to heroic figures of bravery and justice like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Harvey Milk. These songs are bridges to many adventures in the making and include suggested activities for youngsters to supplement their listening and exploration.
