From The Desk Of Spirit Family Reunion: In The Red Records

When the folks in Spirit Family Reunion raise their voices in song, they deliver an inspiring message. Their mostly acoustic approach combines elements of rock with hints of bluegrass and country music. They have a feel that approaches the fervent emotions of gospel music, but their messages stay grounded in the secular world. Banjo player Maggie Carson will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on the band

Carson: Pretty much my favorite label, they’ve been consistently releasing amazing records for the past 24 years. Throughout the early-to-mid-1900s, there had been so many historic labels who’d time and time again put out amazing music, and it’s a breath of fresh air to see a contemporary label put so much care and passion into what they release. There is a resurgence of small labels like Daptone, Burger, Mississippi and more that are getting their name out there prominently because they consistently release great music, and people trust these labels and believe that they are not going to put mediocre music out into the world. It gives me great pleasure to know that I can walk into a record store, see that In the Red logo on the back of the record and know if I buy it, I’m in for a treat.
