Trouble in Mind is the second album by the American musician Mance Lipscomb, released in 1961.[2][3] It was his only album for a major label.[4] Lipscomb promoted the album by playing various folk festivals.[5]
The songs were later released on various Arhoolie Records compilations.[6] Trouble in Mind was rereleased in 2003 with 13 additional tracks from the same recording sessions.[7]
Recorded in Lipscomb's Texas home, the album was produced by Chris Strachwitz and Mack McCormick.[8] The pair had intended to record Lightnin' Hopkins, who was out of the state; Lipscomb was suggested, and they recorded him in Lipscomb's kitchen.[9] Lipscomb played many of the songs with a capo on the guitar neck.[10] Lipscomb did not appreciate having to record multiple versions of the songs, vowing that he was never again going to perform the title track.[11] The hopeful "Trouble in Mind" was a favorite of many mid-century acoustic blues musicians.[12][13]
