In the 1940s, Hobe Stanton of Johnson City pioneered some of the earliest recordings of what today are recognized as "bluegrass" recordings. Jim Hobart (Hobe) Stanton was a distributor who installed records in local jukeboxes in 1946. His ear for music and knowledge of local tastes helped him earn more by producing records himself. Much as Victor Records’ Ralph Peer had done in 1927-1928, Stanton sought local talent, finding as much as he needed. His initial investment was minimal. Performers were eager to record, and regional radio stations had studios and equipment available for making master recordings on acetate discs (tape mastering was still a few years in the future). Prominent among those stations was WOPI in Bristol, Va., where the Stanley Brothers (Carter and Ralph) and others recorded. Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper recorded at WWNC (Asheville, N. C.) and WWVA (Wheeling, W.Va). |
|||
|align="center"|1992||''The Master Musician''||||||4620 |
|||
|- |
|||
Masters were processed and records were pressed at Palda Records in Philadelphia, another independent producer. Payment to artists was minimal. Most were glad simply to be on records, and a few even paid Stanton for the privilege. Several addresses for Rich-R’-Tone appeared in contemporary trade journals: Rich-R’-Tone Record Co., 113 W. Main Street, Johnson City, Tennessee (January 1949); Rich-R’-Tone and Acme Record Record Co., Inc., Campbellsville, Ky., (August 1952); Rich-R’-Tone Record Co., 407 W. Main St., Morristown, Tenn., (December 1953). |

|||
|- |
|||
Johnson City appears on record labels through part of 1950, the year when the operation was moved briefly to Campbellsville. Labels of 1950-1951 could indicate either city, and suggest a degree of financial instability. The move to Morristown may have occurred after record production stopped in 1952 or 1953. Final dates aren’t clear—Rich-R’-Tone expired gradually, but the label has been revived and is active today in Nashville. |

Singer Jimmy LaFave and Cedar Creek studio owner Fred Remmert have launched Music Road Records, with a initial roster that includes not only LaFave, but the Subdudes, John Inmon and the Woody Guthrie tribute project. |

In the 1940s, Hobe Stanton of Johnson City pioneered some of the earliest recordings of what today are recognized as "bluegrass" recordings. Jim Hobart (Hobe) Stanton was a distributor who installed records in local jukeboxes in 1946. His ear for music and knowledge of local tastes helped him earn more by producing records himself. Much as Victor Records’ Ralph Peer had done in 1927-1928, Stanton sought local talent, finding as much as he needed. His initial investment was minimal. Performers were eager to record, and regional radio stations had studios and equipment available for making master recordings on acetate discs (tape mastering was still a few years in the future). Prominent among those stations was WOPI in Bristol, Va., where the Stanley Brothers (Carter and Ralph) and others recorded. Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper recorded at WWNC (Asheville, N. C.) and WWVA (Wheeling, W.Va).
Masters were processed and records were pressed at Palda Records in Philadelphia, another independent producer. Payment to artists was minimal. Most were glad simply to be on records, and a few even paid Stanton for the privilege. Several addresses for Rich-R’-Tone appeared in contemporary trade journals: Rich-R’-Tone Record Co., 113 W. Main Street, Johnson City, Tennessee (January 1949); Rich-R’-Tone and Acme Record Record Co., Inc., Campbellsville, Ky., (August 1952); Rich-R’-Tone Record Co., 407 W. Main St., Morristown, Tenn., (December 1953).
Johnson City appears on record labels through part of 1950, the year when the operation was moved briefly to Campbellsville. Labels of 1950-1951 could indicate either city, and suggest a degree of financial instability. The move to Morristown may have occurred after record production stopped in 1952 or 1953. Final dates aren’t clear—Rich-R’-Tone expired gradually, but the label has been revived and is active today in Nashville.

- LaFave, Remmert form new label, By Michael Corcoran, AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Saturday, October 04, 2008 source URL
Singer Jimmy LaFave and Cedar Creek studio owner Fred Remmert have launched Music Road Records, with a initial roster that includes not only LaFave, but the Subdudes, John Inmon and the Woody Guthrie tribute project.
Within the next couple of months, Music Road will release the LaFave rarities set "Bohemia Beat Collection," which includes live radio performances and unreleased studio tracks from 10 to 12 years ago.
Remmert says LaFave owed Minnesota's Red House Records one more album, but he was able to get out of that deal to release his next studio LP on Music Road, which has financial backing from a Dallas businessman
