Model Citizen

Upon returning to active status and live performances in late 2022, Birmingham, AL-based band Model Citizen recorded an album of classic set material live to tape at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS. The tracks were then mastered to lacquer at Sam Phillips in Memphis, TN.

This marks the first time the band has been pressed to vinyl since 1998, and is quite possibly the only recording that even begins to capture the energy of a Model Citizen live performance.

The band felt this "live-in-studio" approach was preferable to reissuing older albums that were recorded digitally in the CD era and never intended to be on vinyl. We think your ears will agree!

Woody Woodworth & the Piners

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Woody Woodworth & The Piners are part of the newest revival of country music in Virginia. Established in 2016, the Piners are named for the bygone expression to Pine – a deep longing for something or someone. Influenced by Virginia’s deep musical history and Appalachian culture, Woody Woodworth & The Piners fuse storytelling with country, bluegrass, and rock and roll to create a sound that can be described as Appalachian alt-country with a steady shot of southern rock.
