NOLA BLUE RECORDS CELEBRATES
10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Nola Blue Records celebrates a decade of blues in 2024! The imprint began with the 2014 release of 'Journey' by Benny Turner. In the ensuing years, the catalog has grown to more than 27 titles and assorted singles. Highlights include Turner's homage to his brother, the late Freddie King, 'My Brother's Blues,' as well as albums from blues legacy artists Cash McCall (RIP) and Frank Bey (RIP). 'All My Dues Are Paid,' the label's second release by Bey, received a posthumous GRAMMY nomination for traditional blues album of the year (2020). Artists and projects that have received Blues Music Awards and nominations include Benny Turner, Frank Bey, John Németh, Clarence Spady, Trudy Lynn, and The Love Light Orchestra. Nola Blue Records was named "Record Label of the Year" by The Josie Awards in September 2020.
New albums released in 2024 include 'Breakin' News: 10 Years of Blues', 'True Blues Brother: The Legacy of Matt "Guitar" Murphy', 'I Believe I'll Run On: A Tribute to Wilson Pickett' and 'BT' by Benny Turner.
Reflecting on this significant milestone, label president Sallie Bengtson says, "I hope that in some way I’ve been able to have as much of a positive impact on the blues community as the blues has always had on me. Preserving and sharing the stories and history of the music that is recorded stands firmly at the forefront of our efforts."
Living Blues editor Brett J. Bonner observes, "Nola Blue Records has been a breath of fresh air in the blues world. Dedicated to presenting high quality releases from stellar artists that have often been overlooked or underappreciated by the larger music scene."
An exciting selection of new projects, soon to be announced, are set to launch the next decade of the label in 2025.
