The Nashville Outlaws were at the forefront of changing the conservative country scene. In the 1960’s a transformation would be coming, bigger than anything else the genre has experienced before. In fact, it was a movement that spoke to both music tradition and culture in general. While staying true to some of the most beloved country sounds, like Merle Haggard’s Bakersfield, a group of songwriters brought about this revolution. They simply wanted to sing theirs how they wanted, and Nashville Red wants to continue the trend.
Liberating Country Music Again.
Nashville Red should be considered a supportive gateway to getting unique talents out in the open. More specifically, we are looking for the cutting edge of country entertainment. The individuals we work with are forward thinking, but respective of where it all comes from. Because let’s be honest, it doesn’t get much better than listening to Willie Nelson or Hank Jr. These artists didn’t set out to break down the reason why people love country. They wanted to give it more depth and introspect.
The daring individuals we represent are not scared to shake things up in terms of recording, engineering, editing and producing. Whether it’s on radio, television or a concert stage, this is the company you want when you’re looking for edge. Nashville Red is a place where artists and fans can look to for something different, yet liberating.
Always Looking Forward
Our goal is to continue looking forward. Country progression didn’t stop with Nelson and Cash. It inspired new areas for experimentation, especially since the production techniques of Chet Atkins were getting more and more powerful. The mixture of contemporary rock, pop and country, led to so many other subgenres, expanding the genre even further.
But we also can’t deny that it’s time for another revolution to hit country entertainment. Everyone still loves country, and they still show great support, but when was the last time you heard something that just doesn’t want to leave you alone. When was the last time you experienced a sound so intriguing you just had to hear it a few more times because it’s beyond just contemporary country?
The Cutting Edge of Country
For the artists who feel their music or talents are not exactly commercial friendly, and they need more support in getting it out there, you’re in good company. Nashville Red is the new home for the rebels, the outlaws and the talents who bring another dimension to something that’s already so good.
With us you know you’re in the hands of a label that supports free and forward thinking. We appreciate fresh new ideas, whether they are emotional, energetic or humorous. As long as it can capture attention and open up another point of view, Nashville Red is behind it.
