ASP Records

ASP Records was formed in 1999 and is an independent label and ASCAP affiliated music publisher. ASP Records is the home of Southern "roots" music: the rock, soul, old-time, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, and country music that belong to hard folks living hard lives in hard times. Our commercial releases and private pressings are of family and friends performing the best music in the world from where it was born. From Tennessee to Texas, ASP delivers the sound of red clay and blacktop; grits and gravy; hollers and hills; sweat stains and rusted strings; cheap Kays and Harmonys through old tube amps; fiddles and clawhammer banjo; whiskey and women; cotton and corn; the dynamics of anglo, afro, and latino sharing and stealing each other's chops and culture; and the sound coming from both the dark end of the street and the dark hollows of the mountain.
