Rob Miller along w/ partner Nan Warshaw have kept the lights on over at the bloodshot headquarters for over a decade now. They've put out some really fine records from: Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Kelly Hogan, Jon Langford, Sally Timms, The Bottle Rockets, Alejandro Escovedo, Jon Rauhose, Bobby Bare Jr., Nora O' Connor, Deadstring Brothers, Devil In A Woodpile, The Detroit Cobras, and many others!
"My one piece of advice about starting a label has not changed since the first day I did this," Miller adds. "If you want to get into this to make money, you're an idiot. Do it only if you have absolutely unquenchable passion for the bands that you work with. Then you won't care if the rest of the world doesn't pick it up right away. You'll find a way, you'll build a grassroots network, you'll staple flyers to telephone poles, you'll get out there and build a Web site for your acts. All the business crap that you're forced to learn will change drastically, but the reason to do this never will."
