Lonesome Day Records is a small label that promotes music with integrity and quality. The company is dedicated to making and marketing only the best artists and music. Operating under the assumption that there is high demand for quality music whether it is country, bluegrass or rock, Lonesome Day Records strives to become a leader in releasing outstanding albums while also enjoying the experience.

Lonesome Day Records was started in 2002 by Randall Deaton as a family-run business. The name Lonesome Day Records was chosen from the title of a Bruce Springsteen song from the album The Rising. Randall grew up on a small farm in Kentucky instilled with a strong work ethic and a passion for music that has kept him rockin’ for the past 20 years. Playing in bands throughout high school and college, he earned a degree in business administration and a minor in political science while wielding a guitar and mandolin. Ten years ago he turned his attention towards audio engineering and converted an old church into his temple - a recording studio. That studio has since expanded and spawned Lonesome Day Records which has released top-ranking records for the likes of Ralph Stanley II, Larry Cordle, and Fred Eaglesmith among other prolific artists from bluegrass to country.

Lonesome Day Records currently has two locations: a main office and recording studio in Booneville, KY and a satellite office & creative department in Nashville, Tennessee. Randall has worked in every capacity possible at Lonesome Day Records and currently personally oversees each release from song selection to engineering and production. On that subject, he has plenty to say: “The power of music is astonishing. The subject matter of songs has not really changed over hundreds of years yet there is “new” music created everyday and people still want it. I think we have done some records that will still be played years down the road. The music industry may change but it isn’t going anywhere. People will always want good music but they just may buy it in a different way”.

Principal staff in the Nashville office includes Jami Anderson who serves as the label Art Director and creative consultant. She is a Grammy-nominated graphic designer with 16 years of experience in design of all kinds with a focus on the music industry. Beginning in Austin, TX and working her way through the varied creative environments of Atlanta, Cincinnati and now Nashville, she has fashioned everything from award-winning websites and CD packaging to identity systems, posters, ad campaigns and cowboy hats.

Lonesome Day has an in-house video production department headed by Jason Hernandez of March Media in Lexington, Kentucky. March Media has strong ties with the network of video outlets in the country format and has promoted clips by many of the biggest names in the music business.

Lonesome Day Records has relationships with other music industry specialists whose expertise is sourced as the need arises. Among them are Vanessa Davis of Splash! Public Relations, Mike Latterell - Sound Engineer, Penni McDaniel of Hope River Entertainment, Leslie Rouffe of Songlines, and Elaine Schock of Shock Ink.
