March 11, 2024
Singing the Traditional Songs of Her Kentucky Mountain Family is the first studio album of American folk singer Jean Ritchie. It was released in 1952 by Elektra Records. The album consists of renditions of traditional Appalachian folk songs, some of which are performed a cappella.
Elektra Records producer Mitch Miller first became aware of Ritchie through her performances in Greenwich Village in the late 1940s and early 50s. Shortly before she signed with Elektra, Ritchie made recordings for Alan Lomax.[1]
The album cover was designed by George Pickow, Ritchie's husband.
