About Me:
Rykodisc also boasts a diverse distribution catalogue comprised of an array of impressive labels. Grammavision has brought us distinguished releases by Medeski, Martin & Wood and John Scofield, while Hannibal has become the home of many of the foundations of what we now call "world music" by releasing recordings by Ali Farke Toure and Toumani Diabate, among others. In fact, some could argue that the album Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farke Toure and Ry Cooder is one of the cornerstones of the world music genre. Hannibal, long an important facet of the Rykodisc family, is also the label that first brought Nick Drake to the CD format, without which you may never have heard "Pink Moon." Hannibal is also the home of Richard and Linda Thompson, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Sandy Denny and many other important folk and roots artists. Restless Records is also an important part of the Rykodisc story. This seminal Los Angeles label released the first recordings by The Flaming Lips, T.S.O.L., The Dead Milkmen, They Might Be Giants and via Twin Tone, The Replacements and The Jayhawks.
Rykodisc strives to extend its legacy into the next 25 years by signing career artists such as the former lead singer of Del Amitri, Justin Currie, one of the founding members of The Jayhawks, Gary Louris, and Mr. Jumpin' Jive himself, Joe Jackson.
