Moses Asch's Folkways Records was and is a national treasure. So it is fitting that the entire catalog is part of the Smithsonian collection. I love exploring the catalog. I find it interesting and source of musical inspiration. In this space, The Folkways Lounge, I will share some of my favorite recordings from the Folkways catalog.
This Spring the Folkways Lounge features excerpts from 3 Smithsonian Folkways recordings by Elizabeth Cotten, Woody Guthrie and The New Lost City Ramblers. Enjoy.
