Welcome to Wind River Records!!
Wind River Records is devoted primarily to contemporary singer
songwriters and acoustic based music, though we're set to prove that there's
no boundaries on the sound of music today. Our goal is to feature the
best and brightest musicians and songwriters we can find, regardless of
genre. With Wind River, you'll find albums that stretch the gamut
from acoustic jazz to Australian blues, traditional sounds to modem Americana,
singer-songwriters to song interpreters, and contemporary Celtic based
pop to ancient Canadian heritage -- in short, the roots of yesterday and
tomorrow --

Ronny Cox - At The Sebastiani - Order
Now!
Ronny showcases a wonderful acoustic mix of folk, western, jazzy-bluesy and just plain corn ball stuff. With a small, dazzling array of multi-instrumentalists, the music is eclectic... funny.. touching and always compelling. Together they perform an original, sophisticated lyric-driven folky sound... and the stories that accompany the songs are something else entirely.

Tim Grimm - Names
- Order
Now!
"Grimm is another link in the chain of literate singer songwriters
that sees a side to the story that we always miss. The songs are
little novels that unfold slowly and then knock you off your feet
when you're not looking
A real find."
-- Village Records
|
 |
Rod MacDonald - A
Tale of Two Americas - Order
Now!
"Rod MacDonald - mark that name down. His voice is a combination
of gravel and smoothness, and his songs are not only perceptive
and linguistically rich, but touched with grace."
-- Stereo Review

Done Gone Got Lucky - Order

Townes Van Zandt school of songwriting."

Moore - South of St. Louis - Order

Pomegranate Seed - Order
