Roots-rocker JOHNNY IRION is headed back to Horizon Records TONIGHT, playing an in-store set with our buddy NIEL BROOKS; showtime is 7 p.m.!
There’s no mistaking Johnny Irion’s unique pedigree — his granduncle is literary giant John Steinbeck and his father-in-law is folksinger Arlo Guthrie — but the South Carolina native gained a following on the strength of his own music, fronting several bands as a teenager before morphing into a country-folk artist as an adult, culminating recently…

On SWAG SATURDAY: Greenville paid it FORWARD for food and warmth! We gave away an assortment of vinyl, masks, sampler CD’s, and posters, and the donations poured in, all for a great cause!
Horizon Records celebrates SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY by encouraging all to share some Food (non-perishables only), or Warmth (need blankets, caps, gloves, socks) and of course deductible Cash or Check, all in support of TRIUNE MERCY CENTER, who bring desperately needed assistance to those in need in the season of Thanksgiving and all year round. Triune…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making Black Friday 2016 our biggest yet. We’re humbled, thrilled and grateful.
One more Black Friday has come and gone and we couldn’t be more thrilled about how the 2016 edition went. We greeted an army of music lovers at 9am, they swarmed the place looking for various quantities of LP’s, 10” collectible picture sleeve singles, box sets, and CDs. The Bohemian Café was here all day…

NEW RELEASES 11/25: GILLIAN WELCH, JACK LEE, & two great compilations from SOUL JAZZ RECORDS & GILLES PETERSON! New METALLICA & TRIBE CALLED QUEST are in-stock!
Gillian Welch’s 1996 debut, Revival, is one of the era’s most influential albums, its retro stylings and bleak evocations of the dust bowl era marking the transition from alt-country to Americana. Welch’s revivalism was no Carter Family copyism; here was a startlingly good songwriter who could put you in the place of a barroom girl…

NEW RELEASES, 11/18: A TRIBE CALLED QUEST says goodbye, and METALLICA returns, along with some jazz/classical goodness by GAVIN BRYARS & KEITH JARRETT, a new NATHANIEL RATELIFF EP, and more!
It’s been eight years since Metallica’s last studio album. But that’s small change next to their long haul to this two-disc resurrection: via the jagged apocalypse of 1988’s …And Justice for All and the focused brawn of 1991’s Metallica. The mostly epic-length tracks – almost entirely written by drummer Lars Ulrich and singer-guitarist James Hetfield…

NEW RELEASES 11/11: DANIEL BACHMAN, YONRICO SCOTT, STING, RHONDA VINCENT, and a slew of amazing reissues by BOWIE, SABBATH & THE BAND!
Guitarist and former wunderkind Daniel Bachman, at 26, can no longer be considered “precocious.” On even his earliest recordings, released under the moniker Sacred Harp, Bachman’s guitar prowess and compositional voice were staggeringly mature. There was something refreshingly novel about a guitarist not old enough to vote possessing such clarity of vision. But novelty wears…

ANDERSON.PAAK & KNXWLEDGE have formed a duo called NX WORRIES, and they’ve released a new album of skewed hip-hop greatness called “YES LAWD!”, in-stock now!
As tempting as it may be to just let that exclamation suffice as your sole introduction to NxWorries, we should go a little deeper. The men at the heart of this LP — soul styler Anderson .Paak and loop beast Knxwledge — make an exceedingly clean pair, even as they deal almost entirely in the…
