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.

This 72-minute companion piece to The Early Years (1958-1962) is drawn from the seven Folkways albums that the New Lost City Ramblers recorded between 1963 and 1973, following the entry of Tracy Schwartz and the departure of Tom Paley, and it's every bit as essential as the first volume. Continuing their emphasis on careful replication of many difficult regional and popular folk forms, one is continually amazed by the versatility of Schwartz, John Cohen, and Mike Seeger, as they bounce from lively fiddle tunes, to instrumental waltzes, from more traditional bluegrass songs to Cajun influences. No doubt, this was a productive period for the NLCR, as many of the 27 tracks should be required listening for fans of traditional string-band music. Excellent liner notes and commentary by Jon Pankake also make this a quality collection.
