Produced by Tom Royals,[1] and recorded in Mississippi in the late 1970s, the album features a collection of traditional folk and country standards arranged and performed by Williams, with accompaniment by John Grimaudo on his six-string guitar.[2] When the album was re-issued on CD in 1991 by Smithsonian Folkways, the title was shortened to Ramblin' and featured an alternate album cover.[3]

| AllMusic |   [3] |
Smithsonian Folkways provides a description: "The first recordings from an artist with a gift for interpreting original blues from Robert Johnson to Memphis Minnie to the Carter Family. Williams’s unmistakable sound is powerfully direct and filled with melancholy and passion."[2] A review in Montana State University Exponent calls it "The quintessential recording of Lucinda Williams ... An unbelievably soulful ... vocalist."[2]
Trouser Press called it "a warm, lively album of covers" that "shows off Williams’ affecting vocals and her roots — from the bayou to the church choir to the Opry".[4]
