BluesLand Productions catalog of masters
In the 1940s, 50s & 60s, Nashville, Tennessee was a hotbed for Rhythm & Blues music. Major independent labels like Excello, Bullet and Sound Stage Seven were releasing music by important artists like B.B. King, Joe Simon, Wynonie Harris, Rufus Thomas and Slim Harpo. In addition to these bigger labels, there were many smaller R&B labels flourishing in the fertile Nashville firmament. Bluesland Productions has been fortunate to purchase the catalogs of several of these small but mighty record companies. Catalogs are listed by artists and individual tracks.

Select a catalog:

Champion, Poncello and REF-O-REE Records were all run by legendary songwriter/producer Ted Jarrett. Ted had his first success writing "It's Love Baby (24 Hours A Day)" for Louis Brooks & The Hi-toppers on Excello in 1955. He soon moved into independent production and started the Champion/Calvert/Cherokee group of labels. These releases are now considered classics of Nashville R&B and are appreciated around the world as some of the finest releases by artists Earl Gaines, Gene Allison, Larry Birdsong, Shy Guy Douglas and many lesser knowns on the roster. Ted moved on to the more diverse Poncello label (with it's subsidiaries Valdot, Spar, etc.) and finally the Soul label Ref-O-Ree.

Bullet/Sur-Speed and Delta Records are the "labor of love" of legendary Nashville record man W.C. "Red" Wortham. Red worked at Bullet Records in the late 1940s. Bullet was one of the earliest post war indy labels to have any major success, but they expanded too quickly and were out of business by 1949. Red took over the Delta label and ran it through the mid 1950s, also working as an independent promotion man and producer for hire. In the late 1950s, early 1960s, he resurrected the dormant Bullet label along with his own Sur-Speed imprint, releasing everything from Country to Gospel to R&B to Garage Rock & Roll. He had some success with bluesman Shy Guy Douglas, but without a hit the label eventually became a custom recording outfit, recording records for anyone with the cash to do so. Nevertheless, there is some great music in this obscure catalog. It's a real snapshot of the rough and tumble indy record world of the mid 20th century.

Rich Records was the initial foray into the record business by legendary WLAC disc Jockey "John R" Richbourg. Like his compatriot Hoss Allen, by the early 1960s he decided that spinning records wasn't enough. He wanted a piece of the action. His first discovery was Nashville native Bobby Hebb. These are Bobby's first recordings and several were cut at Cosimo's in New Orleans with Mac "Dr. John" Rebbenack, James Booker and the cream of the Big Easy's session men. Many of the other artists were from Detroit. The label didn't last long. John decided to get serious about the record business and by the mid 1960s had started the Sound Stage 7 imprint. It was very successful, but the Rich label had a rough, early 60s charm.
