It’s Like Opening A 40 Year Old Gift…

The Numero Group was founded as an archival record label in 2003 by Tom Lunt, Rob Sevier, and Ken Shipley. Their mission… ” to dig deep into the recesses of our record collections with the goal of finding the dustiest gems begging to be released from their exile on geek street. No longer would $500 singles sit in a temperature-controlled room dying for a chance to be played. No more would the artists, writers, and entrepreneurs who made these records happen, go unknown and unappreciated.” Their forte thus far… soul, rock, folk, pop, and disco. Not convinced just yet? Allow me to continue…

Consisting mostly of compilations, TNG justifies it by doing all the dirty work for you, allowing only the “cream of the crop” to be heard.  Their series include.. Eccentric Soul with the obvious focus being on ill exposed soul, Wayfaring Strangers bringing to light the lesser known folkies, Cult Cargo exposes the foreign diamonds in the rough, Good God! seeks the higher spiritual being, while Local Customs investigates mom-and-pop style recordings. TNG also has subsidiary labels… Their Asterisk Label focuses on reissuing complete original LP’s while Numerophon has taken on the task of releasing extremely rare finds such as Niela Miller’s Songs of Leaving which claims to have the first rendering of “Hey Joe”… yes, THAT “Hey Joe“. Still Not enough? Okay okay… listen for yourself, you ingrate.

Ada Richards – I’m Drunk & I’m Real High (In The Spirit of God)
Master Jay & Michael Dee – T.S.O.B. (Vocal)
Antena – Camino Del Sol

Record Review: Dawn Landes & the Hounds – Sweetheart Rodeo

leave a comment

By Alex Brenner It’s hard to be a female singer-songwriter. Usually they fall into three categories for me. You have the quirky Regina Spektor type, the poppy Lisa Loeb type, or the introspective Tift Merritt type. Dawn Landes falls into none of the above. While her sound is definitely familiar, she really puts a new [...]

This link came in right about the same time as the new Squirrel Nut Zippers record and it sort of reminds of that band about 15 years ago, when Andrew Bird was still part of the band and they had just starting touring Hot and we saw them at the Black Cat in DC and [...]
