If there was a funeral for the record industry, Bloodshot would be more than happy to crash the wake, spit on the tombstone and throw a rocking after-party. Dedicated to promoting raw, ruthless, whiskey-soaked music, this label avoids pretenses and posing in favor of music with soul. Glance at its roster of progressive country, including Mekons member Jon Langford, Bobby Bare Jr. and the Legendary Shack Shakers for proof. Currently celebrating its tenth anniversary, look for a variety of special releases this year. (Patrick Sisson)
