Winifred Smith- Ethnic Folk Songs From The South-LP

Winifred Smith’s Ethnic Folk Songs From The South offers a rare glimpse into traditional Southern folk music through her distinct vocal interpretations of tunes like "John Gilbert," "Little Black Star," and "Cindy." Produced in 1962 for members of The Tennessee Squire Association, this album presents a curated collection of heritage songs such as "Shenandoah" and "You Got To Cross That Lonesome Valley," making it a noteworthy piece for enthusiasts of regional folk traditions. The record captures a particular moment when folk music was both a preservation of culture and a subtle art form, sung with care and authenticity. This pressing from 1962 comes on vinyl in a format that suits collectors who appreciate original-era releases with a bit of history under the needle. The VG+ condition suggests a record with some light surface marks or paper scuffs that won't overshadow the listening experience, fitting for those who want a solid, playable copy without hunting for mint perfection. If your collection leans toward authentic folk narratives, this one might just convince you to let it "hang low" alongside your other gems.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
