about

purchase the limited edition 7" record via our friends at No Quarter: noquarterrex.bandcamp.com/album/lullabies-from-the-archive-of-american-folk-song

The Lomax Collection reflects a variety of human experience—from the sacred to the profane, from the rural to the urban, and from the public square to the domestic scene. The Lomaxes recorded lullabies all over the world, creating a record of the universality of these particularly intimate moments between parents and children. This compilation gathers some of our favorite lullabies from the archive alongside new interpretations by contemporary artists. For information on the performers, old and new, and the songs, visit the accompanying exhibit on the Lomax Digital Archive: archive.culturalequity.org/go-to-sleepy

The exhibit was made possible with support from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Our Been All Around This World podcast also features an episode on lullabies and is available here and wherever you listen to podcasts:
