Stony Plain 40 years: Independent record label Stony Plain Records celebrates 40 years!

2016 marks the 40th Anniversary of one of Canada’s longest surviving independent record labels. Stony Plain Records has been recognized worldwide for its consistent, high quality roots and blues releases.

This three volume set celebrates with some of the label’s favourite tracks, including one full CD of rarities and previously unreleased music by artists like Eric Bibb, Maria Muldaur, Duke Robillard and Sam Chatmon. Stony Plain was named “2014 Record Label of the Year” by the Blues Foundation in Memphis. Add to that 6 Grammy nominations, 11 Juno Awards and dozens of Blues Awards and Maple Blues Awards.

1 In Music was lucky enough to listen to this gem which is through and through pure goodness, demonstrating the vibrant legacy of the label and the very reason why it has been able to survive this long. Some songs remind us of some of the artists that we had the pleasure of reviewing the releases of, including the rocking voice of Jeff Healey at the service of his passion for swing, Jazz and Blues. Here is a compilation worth its history and giving us a sound of nostalgia and hope for independent Roots, Rock, Country, Folk & Blues.
