Bloodshot Records is a
Chicago based
independent record label that was founded in
1993. The founders of this label decided that there needed to be a home in
Chicago for
music that combined the attitude and music of
punk with that of
country,
folk, and
bluegrass. As early as 1995 they decided to use the term "
Insurgent Country" to describe the catalog that they offer.
Bloodshot is the current home to talented recording artists such as
Alejandro Escovedo,
John Langford, the
Old 97s, and many, many others.
