| | Folkways Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Folkways Records is a record label founded by Moses Asch. | | | The label became very influential on a generation of folk singers because of its release of a great number of old-time and bluegrass recordings by re-discovered performers from the 1920s and 1930s like Dock Boggs and Clarence Ashley, as well as contemporary performers like the New Lost City Ramblers. | | | The Anthology of American Folk Music originally appeared on the Folkways label. |

| | Between 1948 and Asch's death, Folkways' tiny staff released 2,168 albums. | | | In the years since 1987, Smithsonian Folkways has continued to expand on Asch's legacy, adding several other record labels to the collections and releasing over 300 new recordings that document and celebrate the sounds of the world around us. | | | Our mission is the legacy of Moses Asch, who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document "people's music," spoken word, instruction, and sounds from around the world. |

| | Not content with simply reissuing Folkways albums, Seeger is also overseeing the release of entirely new albums, some drawn from sources well beyond the Asch collection. | | | At the time of Moses Asch's death, Folkways Records had released some 2200 albums - about an album a week since the company was founded in 1948. | | | When the Smithsonian Institution acquired Folkways Records in 1987, they received the Folkways catalog, which consisted of the master tapes (or, in some cases, master discs), production data and the program notes that were originally issued with each album. |

| | Folkways founder Moses Asch released scores of bluegrass albums, and this collection comprises the cream of the crop from these recordings, including works from giants of the genre such as Red Allen & Frank Wakefield, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, the Stanley Brothers, and The Country Gentlemen. | | | This classic of both biological fieldwork and natural sound recordings, originally released by Folkways in 1958, presents 57 species of frogs and toads on 92 tracks, digitally remastered from the original master tapes. | | | From that point on, Folkways Records was synonymous with great bluegrass music. |

| | Folkways Recordings offers audiences access to their own musical heritage, even as it also encourages them to hear the rest of the world as others hear it. | | | In 1987, the Smithsonian acquired the 2,168 recordings of Folkways Records from the Asch family, and the collection became the basis of a new label, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. | | | In 1948, Moses Asch founded Folkways Records in New York City, and for the next four decades, till his death in 1986, he and his legendary label introduced the listening public to an unprecedented expanse of musical sounds and oral traditions from cultures throughout the world. |

| | FEATURE: Pioneering folk music label turns 50 |
| | Years before anyone had heard of "world" or "roots" music, Folkways was issuing albums of Kenyan work songs, Jamaican drums, Malaysian trance-dancing ceremonies, teahouse music of Afghanistan, Bedouin music from the Sinai, Nepalese Sherpa village songs, Peruvian flute music and songs of the Mtubi Pygmies of the Ituri rain forest. | | | Many of Asch's Folkways recordings became source material for a new generation of musicians in the folk music revival of the late 1950s and early '60s. | | | But Folkways is best known for its pioneering records of American folk music. |

| | Moses Asche founded Folkways Records in 1948 as a bit of an anthropological project dedicated to locating and recording music, spoken word, and sounds from around the world. | | | Material for Trouble In Mind was culled from a mixture of Folkways studio tracks and live radio and concert broadcasts during the latter period of Broonzy's career in 1956 and 1957. | | | As both a full-time historian and a part-time music critic, I have a special appreciation for Smithsonian Folkways Records' long-standing commitment to America's musical roots. |

| | Slipcue E-Zine: Smithsonian Folkways Records (label profile) |
| | Two things distinguished Folkways from all other record labels: the first was its dizzying diversity, from a wide variety of ethnic American music to spoken word and international recordings; the second was that Asch always kept every record he produced in print, no matter how marginal its appeal may have seemed. | | | The title says it all -- there are plenty of great Hazel & Alice records out there (particularly the ones on Rounder Records), but this disc is a special look into their early years, as trailblazers on the traditionally male- dominated bluegrass circuit of the early 1960s. | | | In the past decade or so, Smithsonian Folkways has reissued many old LPs into outstanding CDs packages -- they have also added many new recordings which are in the original, inquisitive spirit of the label's founder. |
