Celebrating their 45th anniversary as a pioneering roots label, Rounder Records has spent the past several months making available digitally many of the numerous titles in its catalog. In February, Rounder offered a New Orleans-centric selection of R&B, blues, jazz and Cajun music for Mardi Gras. Now, in March, Rounder will continue their reissue initiative with twenty-one classic bluegrass titles being available digitally for the first time. The selections (available at all digital retailers), including such loved artists as The Louvin Brothers, The Cox Family, The Stanley Brothers and The Del McCoury Band, should enthrall bluegrass enthusiasts and music lovers everywhere.
A second set of bluegrass titles will be reissued in August. Rounder began in 1970 by three college friends (and passionate music lovers), "to record, preserve, and pioneer the development of roots music and its contemporary offshoots." It was not originally intended to become a business, but the reception their first releases earned drove the trio to do more. And in their 45 years, the label's artists have won 51 Grammys (and counting). For more information visit here.
