OLD BLUE RECORDS, LLC was founded in 2003 by Charlie Faurot as the vehicle to produce some of the old-time music that he, some with Dave Freeman and a lot with Rich Nevins, recorded between 1965 and 1973. Even though much of that material had been released by 2003, a lot of it never made it to LP. And a lot of the LP material is now out of print.

Old Blue’s original mission was to make available recordings that were never released or no longer in print. Since 2003, eleven CDs of that material have been released, three on the Old Blue label and eight on the County Records label.

Old Blue’s horizons expanded after Charlie met up with Kinney Rorrer, in 2006. After hearing only a couple of tunes from the New North Carolina Ramblers, Charlie knew the band’s music was very much in line with Old Blue Records’ focus on old time rural music, for the most part featuring the traditional instruments: fiddle, banjo, and guitar. Two Ramblers’ CDs are now available.

Nowadays, many fans of of old time music get it digitally, thus missing information in the booklets which provide additional insights into the music and the musicians. Old Blue’s website now includes supplemental information — additional text, alternate versions of selected tracks, etc. — on the music and/or musicians. Links to this information can be found accompanying the listing for each CD.
