Cremo Studios -- a Miocrobrewery Record Label for Blues, Folk, and You-Name-It

Cremo Studios and its Cremo Records microbrewery label represent some of Texas' more adventurous music, in a variety of idioms. Cremo Records launched in 2012 with Mortal Coils, a suite of Dust Bowl ballads from Greg Jackson & Michael H. Price. (The eStore link appears below.)

     The name derives from a legendary indulgence of the last century, the long-extinguished Cremo Cigar, which advertised itself as "the Cream o' the Tobacco." Hence Cremo Records and "the cream o' the blues," or whatever other musical idiom one might insert. The catalogue includes the East Texas string band known as Salt Lick; the earliest recordings (1969-1970) by Texas blues singer Robert Ealey; Sumter Bruton & Michael H. Price's Bruton & Price Swingmasters Revue; historic Boogie-Woogie piano duets by midcentury artists Tom Harris & Charlie Castner; obscure movie-soundtrack cues; and collections of Price's uproarious appearances with such radio outlets as The Dr. Demento Show and TM Century Comedy Network.

    A representative sampling follows, with matching eStore links. And stay tuned for a comprehensive catalogue, to follow in short order if not sooner.
