Sound Asleep Records

The Home Of Great American Music

About Me

Sound Asleep Records was founded by Jerker Emanuelson in 1994 to release some of his favorite American music. The first release was the compilation Hit The Hay which got rave reviews everywhere and this led to another Hit The Hay, Vol. 2 of course, and to date, 7 volumes have been released in this series that compiles the best in American pop and roots rock. Other notable releases include the Bill Lloyd CDEP "Confidence Is High + 4", the debut CD by Robert Crenshaw called "Full Length Stereo Recordings", the Tim Carroll debut CDEP "Good Rock From Bad", and the three volumes in the Home Runs series, put together with Jerker..s friend Christer Strömberg, that compiles great and mostly obscure North American pop from 1975-85. The compilation "Between Goodlettsville And Murfreesboro" contains previously unreleased songs by some of Jerker..s favorite Nashville artists.2008 will see the first Swedish release on the label when the new CD by the great popband The Mop Tops will be released.
