Description by OLDIES.com:
In 1971, ABC-Dunhill label men Larry Ray and Bill Szymczyk fled an earthquake and a debauched L.A. music scene to claim their own slice of utopia in Denver, Colorado. In Denver, they realized their dreams of an "artist-oriented" label and settled on the name Tumbleweed Records. Through industry connections they secured multi-million-dollar financing from Gulf + Western, whose head honchos believed they were bankrolling the hippie movement's next big thing. But instead of producing the next Janis or Jimi, Ray and Szymczyk turned their sights on idiosyncratic wunderkinds like Pete McCabe, moody songwriters Robb Kunkel and Danny Holien, astral cowboy Arthur Gee, while launching the career of Michael Stanley and providing a platform for more established artists like Albert Collins and Dewey Terry. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and per Szymczyk, it was a "bitchin' disco time." Drugs, parties, poetry, celebrities, money - Tumbleweed had it all, except airplay and distribution. Two years after its storied start, the label was finished. So begins a major reappraisal of Tumbleweed's catalog by bringing these songs out of the shadow of the Rocky Mountains and back into the spotlight. Essay interviewing Tumbleweed principals, employees and artists. Unseen archive photos and label history. Remastered vinyl housed in a deluxe Stoughton "Tip-On" Gatefold Jacket.
