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.

Doc Watson and Gaither Carlton is a new album of old-time music produced from archival recordings by two legendary musicians. These largely unheard tapes were recorded at Doc Watsons two earliest concerts, presented in New York Citys Greenwich Village in 1962. Those shows were among the rare appearances Docs father-in-law, fiddler Gaither Carlton, made outside of North Carolina. The instrumental pieces, including Gaithers signature tune Double File, include intricate musical interactions developed through years of family music-making. On the songs and ballads, Docs instantly recognizable baritone voice is accompanied by his own guitar and Gaithers fiddle, or by the traditional combination of fiddle and banjo. Shortly after these recordings were made, Doc Watson embarked on a career as one of Americas premier acoustic guitarists, earning the National Medal of Arts and eight Grammy Awards.
