Ramblin' on My Mind is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, released in 1979, by Folkways Records. Produced by Tom Royals, 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. 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.

Background and reception

Smithsonian Folkways says her "Southern blues roots are unmistakable on her debut record [...] showcasing the artistry that would make her an icon." 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".
