Oh Boy is proud to present our newest artist, Swamp Dogg. Over the course of his seven-decade long career, the Virginia-born, Los Angeles based artist, songwriter and producer Swamp Dogg has firmly established himself as one of the most eccentric and influential cult figures in American music, exploring R&B, soul, and country music over the course of more than two dozen albums.

His new album, Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th Street, has just been announced and will be released on May 31st. The first track "Mess Under That Dress" is out now everywhere!

Kelsey Waldon has just announced her newest album, There's Always A Song, with the release date set for May 10, 2024. "I have been inspired by all kinds of music spanning many genres, but there is something about old time songs & bluegrass music that resonates so deeply within me", Waldon wrote in her announcement. 

"Hello Stranger" feat S.G. Goodman takes its place as the lead single and is out now everywhere.

Across four acclaimed full-length albums full of both “heavy twang and spitfire pedal steel” and “coffeehouse confessionals” (Rolling Stone), she’s brought listeners into her world and shared her own experiences and perspectives. Her new project, There’s Always a Song, however, is about the "singular voices" that shaped her into the artist she is today.

“It’s like, I kind of was able to find my voice through these voices, you know?” Waldon says. “A part of me doing this album is expressing so much gratitude for the music that I love, for music that has meant a lot to me and helped me.”

“These songs are deep. They were here long before me, and they will be here long after I’m gone, after any of us are here. They will survive the test of time,” Waldon says. “It’s like they live in some kind of universe that just survives forever. These songs know the secrets to life.”

Oh Boy Records continues to be the home label for singer songwriters who are dedicated to their craft. The body of work created by my husband, John Prine, remains our North Star when making decisions about the artists we bring onto our label.

Mick Flannery is arguably one of the best songwriters to emerge from Ireland’s long and storied history of writers, poets and musicians.

I couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Mick, as the first international signing, to our Oh Boy Records family.

John was proud to be part of the music community on Ireland’s western coast and I know he would be proud of this new partnership with Mick and his team.
