Best Local Music Label

Antone's Records

The blues ain't dead, baby. No sir. You can hear the pulse from here. Some genres wait for the scene to come around. Others create it and take the rest of the world by storm. You know the name: Antone's, an Austin dynasty. You've seen the store, hocking vinyl and CDs by the bushel. You know the club. But did you know that since 1972 the blues have been alive and kicking right here in Austin, thanks to Antone's Records, the label? Boasting such local faves as Lavelle White, Kim Wilson, Toni Price, Guy Forsyth, and so many more, Antone's makes distributing Texas to the rest of the world a neighborhood thing.
