Inspired by “Bakersfield outlaws, countrypolitan rainbows, and the lonesome twang of every rural route roadhouse.”

The 32-track compilation features music from 17 artists, including Nancy Lee Jordan, The Lavenders, Patti Whipp With The Infinite Blue, Gary Chamberlain & The Country Cats, and Janet Kaye.

With shared inspiration coming from “Bakersfield outlaws, countrypolitan rainbows, and the lonesome twang of every rural route roadhouse”, Driftless Dreamers captures “the voices and stories of a culture and glacier in abatement.”

It follows the label’s reissue of Pastor T.L. Barrett & The Youth For Christ Choir’s I Shall Wear A Crownone of our favourite records from September.
