Dear Friends,
A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS...
It's been a wonderful year at Red House and an extremely busy fall with five new albums in two months, in addition
to several digital releases! We are very excited to release our 8th album with folk favorite LUCY KAPLANSKY
and to be working with several new artists: country and pop veteran MICHAEL JOHNSON, Americana songwriter
DREW NELSON, folk/soul singer ANDRA SUCHY, and TRACY GRAMMER, who put out two special releases
celebrating the 10th anniversary since the passing of her partner DAVE CARTER. This year Red House veterans
BILL STAINES and CLAUDIA SCHMIDT delighted fans with new albums and acoustic blues artist PAT DONOHUE
returned to the label to put out his first duo album with stride piano legend BUTCH THOMPSON. Fellow Prairie
Home Companion favorites ROBIN & LINDA WILLIAMS released their new album which has been riding high
on the Billboard bluegrass chart ever since its August release. Rising stars THE PINES also made their Billboard
debut when they released their new album at the beginning of the year, following it up with an international
tour and knockout showcases at South By Southwest (SXSW) and the Americana Music Festival. In addition to
these and other top festivals, our artists also performed on national radio programs like World Cafe, American
Routes, Mountain Stage, etown, Acoustic Cafe, A Prairie Home Companion and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Red
House also produced its 4th annual music festival in Red Wing, Minnesota and presented a fall concert series in
partnership with Saint Paul's historic Landmark Center.
All in all, it's been quite a year, and we look forward to another exciting one as we celebrate our 30TH ANNIVERSARY
with special events and new releases from ELIZA GILKYSON, DALE WATSON, RUTH MOODY, HEATHER MASSE
& DICK HYMAN, and more! For the latest news, make sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook and visit

The Red House Records Staff
OUR FOUNDER BOB SAID IT BEST:
”Red House artists are players, singers and songwriters that make a difference
in people’s lives–important musicians with a living dream and vision from
which we all can learn. Our philosophy as a label is to provide a home
and environment in which creative artists can make albums in total freedom–
without interference from mogul types just looking for the next hit single.
In support of these same artists, we are also working to build their audience,
one community at a time all over the globe. Simply put, we make records
we love, knowing that there are people out there who will feel the same
way when they hear our music or see the artists in concert. So whether
you’re an old friend or just meeting us for the first time, keep in touch. We
love hearing from you and are always glad to pass your comments on to
the artists. Thanks again for your support!”

Lucy’s First new aLbum in 5 years!
Lucy KapLansKy
ReuNioN • RHR 255 CD
“the troubadour laureate of modern city folk”
- BOSTON GLOBE
Lucy Kaplansky returns with the exciting album her
fans have been waiting for. Roots-infused, alt-country
tinged–each song tells its own unique story and
connects us to our common humanity through scenes
of family, origins, loss and discovery. “This album
is largely about reunions with family and deepening
social connections with friends and audiences through
my music,” Lucy says. “I find myself clearer about
my priorities, my purpose, my politics and my faith.”
Interwoven with Lucy’s poignant originals are unique
covers of Woody Guthrie/Slaid Cleaves, Eliza Gilkyson
and The Beatles, and together they create a tapestry
that is at turns deeply moving, joyful, meditative and
rollicking. Joining her on this BiLLBoard-Charting
masterwork is an impressive gathering of musicians:
Buddy Miller, richard Shindell, Jonatha Brooke,
John gorka, Eliza gilkyson, duke Levine (Mary
Chapin Carpenter), Jon herington (Steely Dan) and
producer/drummer Ben Wittman (Paula Cole).

“quietly gripping” - ROLLiNG STONE
“a stunner of an album” - ViNTaGE GuiTaR
This terrific new album avaiLaBLE in Both Cd and vinyL LP makes manifest that
this great indie folk band has a sound all their own and songcraft that stands apart on
the indie music landscape. Frontmen Benson ramsey & david huckfelt and company
use folk, blues and rock sounds to create a cinematic soundscape layered with profound
meaning and resonance. From the haunting opening track “Cry, Cry, Crow” onward they
conjure up rural specters and ghosts from vanishing Midwestern farms,
exploring the tension between city and small town and the
loneliness that can exist in both. Sometimes rocking out,
sometimes drifting dreamily through poetic ballads and
instrumentals, Dark So Gold is a diverse palette of
musical flavors and songs that reflect on cold days,
dark nights and the hope in between.

MichaeL Johnson
MooNlit déjà Vu • RHR 259 CD
“a dazzling guitarist and wonderfully expressive singer”
- BiLLBOaRd
Best remembered for Billboard-charting hits like “Bluer Than
Blue,” “Give Me Wings” and forays into pop and country music,
Michael Johnson returns to his folk troubadour roots with
his first new solo project in 15 years! Beautifully produced and
loaded with rich, moving songs, Moonlit Déjà Vu finds the artist
in the midst of an amazing personal and artistic renaissance
with his signature vocals and legendary guitarwork fully intact.
A highlight is a moving duet with his adult daughter truly
Carmichael, with whom he was only recently reunited after
her being given up for adoption during his youth.

“Drew’s songs sound like the rest of us feel...dazed,
angry, amazed and climbing.” - JOhN GORka
On his Red house debut, Michigan songmaster drew
nelson bears witness to the lives and journeys of those he
has met along the way with deep feeling and unflinching
clarity. Mixing Springsteen’s roots-rock sounds with the
folk storytelling sensibility of Nanci Griffith, he introduces
us to an eclectic cast of everyday characters that includes
out-of-work war vets, forsaken lovers, migrant workers and
other desperate souls in search of themselves. From the
rocking “Promised Land” to the acoustic beauty of “St.
Jude”, Tilt-A-Whirl illuminates people’s struggles to hold
onto their hopes and dreams as they spin through the wild
carnival of life.

performances defy the imagination with their breadth and scope, making this one of the most
important and enjoyable instrumental releases of recent years. Widely

“one of the best songwriters in folk music today” - aSSOCiaTEd PRESS
A New Englander bearing a deeply etched imprint of
travels in the American West, Bill got his start in the
legendary Cambridge, Massachusetts folk scene in the
early 1960’s. Over the decades he’s become one of the
most popular and durable singers in all of folk music.
This is Bill’s first album in five years and it is a trove of
new Staines originals with their characteristic infectious
choruses and themes of the sea, wandering and the
passage of time. He also interprets a handful of traditional
songs (“Lord Franklin’s Lament”) and his favorite classics by
other writers like Ian Tyson and Pierce Pettis.

Long-Lost dave carter & tracy grammer songs and perFormances!
Red House debut!
Tracy GraMMer
little blue eGG • RHR 251 CD w joy My loVe • RHR 260 limited edition 5-song EP
“One of the finest pure musicians anywhere in folkdom.” - BOSTON GLOBE
“Tracy Grammer is a brilliant artist” - JOaN BaEz
tracy grammer and her late partner, songwriter dave Carter, were folk’s favorite duo at the
turn of the ’90s and they recorded the tracks on these two must-have discs between 1997 and
2002. Tracy discovered the cache of late-night living room recordings, reference tracks and rare
one-offs (all of them songs left off of other albums) during an emergency archiving project in
2010, eight years after Dave’s untimely passing–and they are amazing!
“Tears flowed, I laughed out loud, memories flooded back,” she remembers.
“It felt like a miracle to hear Dave’s voice–and our voices, together–singing
old songs that sounded new again, along with others I had forgotten
about entirely.” Carter’s voice and vision comes aross like a ghost from
beyond, as it merges with Tracy’s harmonies and violin, a heartbreaking
reminder of the magical alchemy the duo shared. From “Better Way”
and “Hard Edge of Livin” on Little Blue Egg, to “Wild Gardenias” and
“Celia Says” on Joy My Love, these are literary, intelligent, by turns
mystical and whimsical, performances of acoustic simplicity and
lyrical depth.

“the savior of country music”
- HANK WILLIAMS III
“I am Dale’s biggest fan.” - WILLIE NELSON
DALE WATSON is a Texas legend, a frequent performer
on the Grand Ole Opry and a member of the Austin Music
Hall of Fame. On The Sun Sessions, he more than evokes
an era–he revives it to the point that it seems it never faded.
Blending the sound of early Cash, Elvis and Carl Perkins
with his signature Texas juke joint cool, Dale channels the
heart and soul of the Hillbilly/Rockabilly/Rock ’n’ Roll
universe. Recorded at fabled Sun Studios in Memphis,
every one of these 14 all-new original tracks sound like
they could have been a hit in Sun’s Golden Age and are
textbook examples of his great songwriting skills. This is
what authentic country music is, was and should always
be–speaking to all of us with a wit and humor that’s as
strong as a whiskey on the rocks and easy as a Texas
dance hall two-step!

A NOD TO BOB
OUR ACCLAIMED ARTISTS’ BIRTHDAY
TRIBUTES TO BOB DYLAN!
“More than a birthday toast...forever young
and eternally relevant.” ★★★★ - USA TODAY
No songwriter of the 20th century has cast a longer
shadow than BOB DYLAN and it would be safe to say
many (if not all) Red House artists have been influenced
by him in some way. So in honor of Bob’s recent 70th
birthday, we created a sequel to 2001’s A Nod to Bob,
the best selling title in our history. On both projects we
asked our artists to record a Dylan song–one about which
they were passionate–and the results were superb. The
artists represent every era of Dylan admirer: colleagues
and cronies, artists that Bob himself has admired, and
his scions from the succeeding generations. Essential
for any lover of truly great songwriting and performances!

“quietly gripping.” - ROLLING STONE
“these songs live inside your head”
- Q MAGAZINE
Mixing folk and blues styles with indie rock and
Americana sounds, BENSON RAMSEY and
DAVID HUCKFELT have crafted a style all their
own. Rock critic Dave Marsh likens them to “the
great folk-rock bands of yesteryear.” With this
CD they solidify their place as one of the most
important new acts on the scene. The album
showcases The Pines’ inspired songwriting and
musicianship and from the driving first track to
the bittersweet last, it reverberates with raw
passion and heartache.
SPARROWS IN THE BELL • RHR 201 CD
This RED HOUSE DEBUT introduced listeners to
their inventive and compelling sound. The album
is a darkly poetic collection of originals plus a
fresh take on the folksong “Careless Love.”
Benson and David create timeless music that is

gothic romanticism and roving troubadours.

PURE ROOTS POETRY
PIETA BROWN
MERCURY • RHR 242 CD
“the best poet I've heard in a long damn time” - IRIS DEMENT
With one foot in her Iowa home and one in Alabama where she
grew up, PIETA BROWN is a poet-songwriter with a seductive voice
and an unmistakable style who has shared stages with the likes of
Mark Knopfler, Calexico and John Prine. With this career-defining
album she steps into a spotlight that is solely her own.
Saturated in her mercurial phrasing and mesmerizing melodies, it
evokes the sounds of her native southland with raw folk and strains of
Gillian Welch, The Civil Wars and Ray Lamontagne. Recorded in a
barn outside Nashville, she is backed by members of the Neil Young
and MARK KNOPFLER bands (including Knopfler himself on one track).
Easily the record of her young career, Mercury shows her star isn’t just
on the rise; it’s already here!
ONE AND ALL • RHR 229 CD, RHR 229 LP
ALSO AVAILABLE ON A 180 GRAM VINYL LP - $23 $15!

but her interests soon expanded to other music genres and poetry. Today
the strands unite in an original style all her own. On this CD she captures
both the beautiful and complicated parts of the human experience with
artful storytelling, hypnotic melodies and raw, soul-tinged grooves. Players
include JOEY BURNS (Calexico), BRIAN WILKIE (Alison Krauss) and
partner BO RAMSEY.

- SING OUT!
This debut album from the trio RED HORSE (aka ELIZA GILKYSON, JOHN GORKA & LUCY KAPLANSKY)
charted on BILLBOARD and was the hit of folk radio! With gorgeous harmonies and simple acoustic
production, the three songwriters team up to cover each other’s songs
and breathe new life into old favorites. Many tracks feature each artist
taking the lead on a classic first made famous by the other two (for example
Eliza interprets John’s brand-new “Forget to Breathe,” John takes a turn
on Lucy’s classic “Don’t Mind Me” and Lucy in turn gives a stunning
performance of Eliza’s “Sanctuary”). There are also fresh takes on other
early originals and unique covers of Neil Young’s “I Am a Child,”
Stewart MacGregor’s “Coshieville” and the traditional folk hymn
“Wayfaring Stranger.” An essential release for any folk collection!

“Bonneville’s magnum opus.” - ALL MUSIC GUIDE
RAY BONNEVILLE is a soulful one-man band (ace singer,

groove in New Orleans, but the depth of his songs comes from
a life richly lived: Quebec-born, Massachusetts-raised, ’Nam
vet, ex-Marine, ex-bush pilot and years of dues on the blues
highway! Critics called this stunning breakthrough album a
masterpiece. From the raw opening bars of the title track to the
playful closing song, Ray takes us on a journey in the tradition
of great Southern writers like Cormac McCarthy and Flannery
O’Connor through life’s darkest and sunniest moments, delving
deep into the lives of true-to-life characters stumbling their way
through a rough and tumble world.
GOIN’ BY FEEL • RHR 206 CD “★★★★” - DOWNBEAT

post-Katrina New Orleans, “I Am the Big Easy.”
ROLL IT DOWN • RHR 178 CD
On this, his RED HOUSE DEBUT, Ray teamed with
ace players like RICHARD BELL (Bonnie Raitt, The
Band) and JOEY SPAMPINATO (NRBQ) to lay down
