Lost Highway has so many epic releases under its belt it’s hard to believe the label is only ten years old. Elvis Costello, Tom Jones, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, Ryan Adams, and Lucinda Williams make up just a fraction of the roster, and in this age of continuously dwindling record sales, packing such an epic list into a mere decade is worth a year of celebrations.
With that in mind, the label will release two albums a month for the rest of the year, on limited-edition clear vinyl. Some are previously released albums, some have never appeared in vinyl format (hello, Whiskeytown!), and some are from Lost Highway’s current release schedule. Already out is Ryan Adam’s GOLD and the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack. The rest we’ve listed below.
South by Southwest goers, take note. Lost Highway and BMI will hold a show at the Austin City Limits studio that will include performances by Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen, Hayes Carll, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, and “surprise guests.”
Here’s to another ten.
