A Nashville-based team with the support of Interscope Records – a label also known for giving groundbreaking, maverick artists the opportunity to create freely – has relaunched the iconic label, which will provide a haven for artists who break the mold.

Founded in 2000 by Luke Lewis, Lost Highway Records quickly became home to such left-of-center, culture-shifting artists as Kacey Musgraves; Willie Nelson; Ryan Bingham; Hayes Carll; Lucinda William; Drive-By Truckers; Lyle Lovett; Tift Merritt; Robert Earl Keen; Shelby Lynne; Elvis Costello; and Mary Gauthier. When Lewis retired in 2012, Lost Highway seemingly vanished into the horizon, leaving behind a legacy that reverberated throughout Nashville.

The label – named for the Leon Payne-penned song “Lost Highway,” which was popularized in 1949 by Hank Williams – also released several notable soundtracks: Deadwood, Open Season and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Produced by T Bone Burnett for the 2000 Coen Brothers’ film of the same name, the 8x Platinum O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack took Album of the Year honors at the GRAMMY Awards, the Country Music Association Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards.

As part of its mission, Lost Highway Records sets out to honor and build upon a legacy in service of great artists.
