Founded in 1975 by Martin Haerle, CMH Records has released albums from artists whose influence on American roots music is unparalleled. The label is responsible for essential recordings throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s by bluegrass, old time and traditional country legends such as Merle Travis, The Osborne Brothers, Mac Wiseman, Joe Maphis, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Grandpa Jones, and Lester Flatt. Throughout the ‘90s and into the new millennium, CMH continued to cut records with artists such as Wanda Jackson, Raul Malo, Larry Cordle, Pine Mountain Railroad, Jimmy Gaudreau, and others. Producing songs rich in American heritage by artists with their own distinct style is the backbone of the label and a history from which the label still produces archival record releases.
