Our Native Daughters Songs Of Our Native Daughters LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Banjo-Based Quartet Of Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla & amp; Allison Russell On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;2020 Grammy Award Nominee: & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;br & gt; Best American Roots Song: & quot;Black Myself & quot; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Songs Of Our Native Daughters gathers together kindred musicians Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla and Allison Russell in song and sisterhood to communicate with their forebears. Drawing on and reclaiming early minstrelsy and banjo music, these musicians reclaim, recast and spotlight the often unheard and untold history of their ancestors, whose stories remain vital and alive today. The material on Songs Of Our Native Daughters - written and sung in various combinations - is inspired by New World slave narratives, discrimination and how it has shaped our American experience, as well as musicians such as Haitian troubadour Althiery Dorval and Mississippi Hill Country string player Sid Hemphill, and more. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;With unflinching, razor-sharp honesty, they confront sanitized views about America's history of slavery, racism and misogyny from a powerful, black female perspective. These songs call on the persistent spirits of the daughters, mothers and grandmothers who have fought for justice - in large, public ways - only now being recognized, and in countless domestic ways that will most likely never be acknowledged. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; Songs of Our Native Daughters lays out a crucial, updated framework for Americana. & lt;footer & gt; -NPR & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; A crucial pronouncement in folk music & lt;footer & gt; -Rolling Stone & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; A record of great importance and exceptional beauty. & lt;footer & gt; -The Guardian & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/jG1sRvFDnU0 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/asIgRED_Yp0 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/F0_zoaPdUmI & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;36-page booklet with lyrics & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Black Myself & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Moon Meets The Sun & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Barbados & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Quasheba, Quasheba & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;I Knew I Could Fly & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Mama's Cryin' Long & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Slave Driver & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Polly Ann's Hammer & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Lavi Difisil & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Blood And Bones & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Music And Joy & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;You're Not Alone & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Joseph Spence Encore: Unheard Recordings Of Bahamian Guitar And Singing LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Previously Unreleased Archival Recordings From 1965 On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Encore is a new album produced from previously unheard archival recordings by the legendary Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence, made in 1965 at the height of his career. Spence's radically innovative guitar style transformed elements of Bahamian traditional music into adventurous, joyful improvisations and influenced players worldwide. His powerful singing stemmed directly from the rhyming tradition created by Bahamian sponge fishermen early in the 20th century. The music is punctuated by Spence's unique, sometimes otherworldly vocalizations including humming, short bursts of lyrics, and near-scat singing. Some of the recordings include singing by Spence's sister Edith Pinder and her family members Raymond and Geneva Pinder. Producer Peter K. Siegel captured these performances at Spence's only New York concert, at the performer's cottage in Nassau, Bahamas, and at Siegel's apartment in Manhattan. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; There are a few utterly joyful experiences in this world, and one of them is the music of Joseph Spence. & lt;footer & gt; -The Vinyl District & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Previously Unheard Archival Recordings & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Descriptive notes & amp; photos inside & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Won't That Be A Happy Time? & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Out On The Rolling Sea & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Down By The Riverside & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bimini Gal & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Crow & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;In Times Like This & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Death And The Woman & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Give Me That Old Time Religion & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Run Come See Jerusalem & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brown Skin Girl & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Glory Of Love & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Great God What Do I See And Hear? & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;That Glad Reunion Day & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;/section & gt;

Doc Watson and Gaither Carlton Doc Watson and Gaither Carlton LP (Vinyl)

& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Old-Time Folk Music From Two Legendary Musicians On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;Doc Watson and Gaither Carlton is a new album of old-time music produced from archival recordings by two legendary musicians. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;These largely unheard tapes were recorded at Doc Watson's two earliest concerts, presented in New York City's Greenwich Village in 1962. Those shows were among the rare appearances Doc's father-in-law, fiddler Gaither Carlton, made outside of North Carolina. The instrumental pieces, including Gaither's signature tune & quot;Double File & quot;, include intricate musical interactions developed through years of family music-making. On the songs and ballads, Doc's instantly recognizable baritone voice is accompanied by his own guitar and Gaither's fiddle, or by the traditional combination of fiddle and banjo. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Shortly after these recordings were made, Doc Watson embarked on a career as one of America's premier acoustic guitarists, earning the National Medal of Arts and eight Grammy Awards. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; Watson's flat-picking style elevated the acoustic guitar to solo status in bluegrass and country music, and his interpretations of traditional American music profoundly influenced generations of folk and rock guitarists. & lt;footer & gt; -The New York Times & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;quote source & quot; & gt; For almost 50 years, Doc Watson was the most illustrious name in traditional American folk music. A superb, original guitarist and a singer of warmth and simplicity, he set countless musicians on the road to careers in folk music. Probably no folk performer of his time has inspired greater admiration and affection. & lt;footer & gt; -The Guardian & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.pastemagazine.com & quot; & gt; Through [Peter] Siegel's smart microphone placement, we get every last pluck and squeak of their instruments and can clearly hear how the songs groaned to life as they settled into a comfortable, well worn groove. My favorite element of this is hearing the voice of the late Watson - strong and rich when singing; spry and warm when urging Carlton on or quietly addressing the crowd. The new vinyl release comes, as all good Smithsonian LPs do, with copious program notes, including the history of each song and rough sketch biographies of Carlton and Watson. & lt;footer & gt; -Robert Ham, Paste Magazine & lt;/footer & gt; & lt;/blockquote & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;features & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Features & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;ul & gt; & lt;li & gt;Vinyl LP & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Recorded October 12th and 18th, 1962, at Friends of Old Time Music concert at NYU and Blind Lemon's, Greenwich Village, NYC & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;These shows were among the rare appearances fiddler Gaither Carlton made outside of North Carolina & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Descriptive notes & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ul & gt; & lt;/section & gt; & lt;section id= & quot;selections & quot; & gt; & lt;h3 & gt;Selections & lt;/h3 & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side A: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Double File & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Handsome Molly & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;He's Coming To Us Dead & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Corrina & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Brown's Dream & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Groundhog (Blind Lemon's Version) & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;My Home's Across The Blue Ridge Mountains & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Bonaparte's Retreat & lt;/li & gt; & lt;/ol & gt; & lt;h4 & gt;Side B: & lt;/h4 & gt; & lt;ol & gt; & lt;li & gt;Willie Moore & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Blue Ridge Mountain Blues & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Goin' Back To Jericho & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Billy In The Low Ground & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Reuben's Train & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;The Dream Of The Miner's Child & lt;/li & gt; & lt;li & gt;Groundhog (F.O.T.M.

Lucinda Williams Happy Woman Blues LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Second Studio Album Reissued On Vinyl LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Lucinda Williams, whose musical style defies easy categorization, recorded her first album of original songs in 1980, supported by a six-member band. Her songs are a mix of traditional and alternative country, folk, and blues that reflect her Louisiana roots. The Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau gave Happy Woman Blues an & quot;A– & quot; and described Williams as a & quot;guileless throwback to the days of the acoustic blues mamas & quot; who & quot;means what she says and says what she means. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The vinyl reissue of Happy Woman Blues, which includes a liner notes booklet with the song lyrics, is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums in their collection. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Lucinda Williams' first collection of original material -- recorded with a full band -- is stunning for its mixture of blues, folk, and country traditions with her captivating, complex, and visceral approach to writing and singing. Songs like 'Lafayette,' 'King of Hearts,' and 'Sharp Cutting Wings' are classics: structurally solid and emotionally intense. A gutsy, refreshingly rootsy album. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - AllMusic & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Liner notes booklet with song lyrics & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

The breadth of her repertoire and her endearing style have captivated generations of guitarists and fans of traditional American music. Cotten's self-taught, upside-down, left-handed playing style on the guitar and banjo made her a true original. Many of her deeply personal compositions, such as the immortal & quot;Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie & quot;, are included. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This reissue is part of Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series and features Mike Seeger's updated notes with comments on Cotten's life, musical style, and song lyrics. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;[A] classic and belongs in every collection... & quot; & lt;/b & gt;- Blues Review Quarterly & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Mike Seeger's updated notes with comments on Cotten's life, musical style and song lyrics & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

American Banjo: Tunes & Songs in Scruggs Style LP (Vinyl)

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;3-Finger Banjo Pickin' On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Remastered From Original LP Master Tapes in 1966! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Although there is debate among musicologists and banjo players as to who “invented” the three-finger style of five-string banjo playing, there is no disagreement that the style was popularized by Earl Scruggs in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The three-finger style enabled banjo players to play harmony and to solo on bluegrass tunes and songs. This 1957 release assembles examples of the three-finger style by bluegrass banjo players including Scruggs’ older brother Junie and Snuffy Jenkins, who may have had an influence on the style as well. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This vinyl reissue is part of Folkways Records’ 70th anniversary celebration series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released on the record label. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Remastered From Original LP Master Tapes in 1966 & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Classic Folkways style tip-on jacket & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Descriptive note inside pocket & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.
