Offered is an exceptionally hard to find recording by the great blues / folk artist Hally Wood:  Hally Wood Sings Texas Folk Songs / Stinson SLP 73 (also SP 73).

Wikipedia  has this short biographical information about Hally :

"Wood was born Harriet Elizabeth Wood in Washington, D.C., in 1922. She was the daughter of a U.S. Army doctor.

"Wood was a classically trained musician/singer who became vitally interested in folkmusic; as musicologist transcribed a number of Lomax (getting words & notes down on paper), transcribed/researched a book of Leadbelly songs (see TRO publishers), songs, The Songbook (later renamed Old-Time Stringband Songbook; see Oak), worked on a book in Houston, Texas (with the publisher, Joseph Lomax-nephew of Alan) on collection of songs written by Townes Van Zandt (entitled "for the sake of the song", Wings Press, Houston, Texas; copyright 1977. Wood is credited in the preface with "musical proof-reading and lyrics corrections.").

 

"As a singer she had two solo albums in the early 1950s (Stinson "Hally Wood Sings Texas Folksongs"; Elektra "Oh Lovely Appearance of Death"), appeared on several concert/compilation albums, sang in concerts with , Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, , & others in the NYC area, including a concert at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, December 21, 1957 with Sonny Terry and Dave Sears.

"In '79-80 brought out a self-produced album "Songs to Live By" in Houston, and was beginning work on another in the mid-80s but was diagnosed with cancer; from late '50s thru early '70s lived in ; did some work there helping produce concerts & other things this informant not familiar with. She was married to the broadcaster, writer and activist ."

THE VINYL :  EX :  The surface retains much of its original gloss, with some spindlewear present / it shows careful handling, with a few light marks present. There are no deep or long marks.


THE COVER :  G+ :  Both seams and the spine are taped / some scuffing / some black marks showing on the back cover / "Judy" written in ink in the top left front (see photos).

Please examine the label, or back cover photos for the tracklist. On that back cover, Hally has included her notes regarding each song.

I have placed the LP into a protective plastic inner sleeve.
