I have seen a few of their artists live. Great Americana music. It's nice to hear that kind of music being made still and obtainable.

14. Exowax, Shimmy-Disc, Rhino

Exowax being the label of Mike Keneally. Shimmy-Disc, long dead, formerly run by Kramer (of Bongwater fame). Rhino, since they're just one of the best reissue outfits out there.
