Worried Now, Won't Be Worried Long: Field Recordings From Alan Lomax's "Southern Journey", 1959–1960 is a remarkable document of American roots music, capturing raw and unfiltered performances recorded across the Deep South, Appalachia, and beyond by legendary folklorist Alan Lomax. Released on Mississippi Records, this compilation draws from Lomax's landmark "Southern Journey" expeditions, preserving the voices and sounds of communities whose musical traditions might otherwise have been lost to history.
Spanning blues, gospel, work songs, and old-time string band music, the collection showcases an extraordinary range of regional styles and vernacular performances recorded in churches, prisons, and living rooms between 1959 and 1960. Together, these recordings offer an intimate and irreplaceable portrait of mid-twentieth century American folk life, making this an essential listen for anyone passionate about the roots of blues and country music.
