ATLANTA, GA –\u00a0Landslide Records is proud and excited to announce an October 29 release date for\u00a0LANDSLIDE RECORDS, 40TH ANNIVERSARY<\/em><\/strong>, a double-CD package commemorating its 40th<\/sup>\u00a0year in business. The album features many of the notable recording artists who have appeared on the label over the years, including The Derek Trucks Band, Widespread Panic, Col. Bruce Hampton, The Brains, Tinsley Ellis, Sean Costello and Webb Wilder. The specially-priced album, consisting of 33 tracks and over two hours of music from its catalog, is an eclectic mix of Southern Roots, Blues, Jazz and Rockabilly genres that will also appear in all digital formats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018You should start a label, man,\u2019 said the beyond-classifiable Atlanta musician Bruce Hampton (then known as the city\u2019s \u2018only living art object,\u2019 but not yet a \u2018Colonel\u2019) in 1981 during one of our many discussions about music,\u201d Landslide Records founder and president Michael Rothschild recalls. \u201cHampton was coaxing me into producing the other-worldly material he\u2019d been creating with his musical partner, the terrific multi-instrumentalist Billy McPherson, who were known professionally as The Late Bronze Age (LBA). I\u2019d seen some of their shows, which were fun, but the songs, though rhythmically catchy, contained impenetrable and wholly non-commercial lyrics. \u2018The annexed vortex tranquiled an address thief\u2019s grief\u2019 and \u2018merged moons perpetuated a resurgence of guesswork\u2019 were lines obviously not destined for the Billboard<\/em><\/strong> pop charts. Nevertheless, making a record with these talented characters promised to be an entertaining sideline from my corporate job. Hampton also assured me that consequently \u2018we would all be riding around in limousines.\u2019 Even if the truth fell short of his assessment, it was the beginning of Landslide Records.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in Atlanta in 1981, the label\u2019s first release was Outside Looking Out<\/em><\/strong> by The Late Bronze Age. The album was received well critically and, along with early records by percussionist David Earle Johnson (with jazz guitarist John Abercrombie and pianist Dan Wall) and reed master Paul McCandless, the company was able to establish offices in downtown Atlanta and set up credible independent national distribution. Early on, Landslide released debut albums from Webb Wilder and The Beatnecks, Widespread Panic, Cigar Store Indians, the Lost Continentals and The Derek Trucks Band. It has since focused on a wide array of roots-oriented Southern-based recording artists, including its latest release, Alafia<\/em><\/strong> Moon, by Tampa blues-rocker Damon Fowler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOutside Looking Out<\/em><\/strong> garnered some excellent reviews, but despite a rave by Robert Palmer in the Sunday New York Times<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 Arts and Leisure section, the album sold maybe two records in every state – a total stiff,\u201d Rothschild remembers. \u201cYet, right off the bat we were deluged with demo submissions from aspiring artists across the country, all of whom apparently thought that if we\u2019d released The Late Bronze Age, we\u2019d release anything. Moving forward, Hampton helped point the label towards a jazz-based roster with friends like David Earle Johnson, joined by John Abercrombie and Paul McCandless. In 1983, Tinsley Ellis and his hardworking blues band, The Heartfixers featuring Chicago Bob Nelson, came on board, and along with The Brains, new wavers led by an innovative singer\/keyboardist\/songwriter named Tom Gray, opened up fresh genres for us to pursue. We are proud to have since released debut albums from Webb Wilder, Widespread Panic and The Derek Trucks Band, and to continue on at 40 years to market an abundance of high quality, roots-oriented Southern artists. I feel privileged to have been able to work with so many highly-talented musicians and producers, several of whom have become close friends over the years. It\u2019s been a great ride so far. We\u2019ve coped with all the music business changes along the way…from vinyl records to cassettes to compact discs, to digital downloads and streaming, all of which presented new challenges. Currently, we look forward to moving ahead with a new slate of releases scheduled for 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
