A comprehensive retrospective of Baltimore’s influential mid-1960s to early-1970s label, Chariot Records. What’s Happening!!: The Chariot Records Story features the complete Chariot discography on 2 CDs and digital formats for the first time, including five previously unissued tracks.
The collection showcases the complete recorded output of Coyote and Baltimore favourites Bob Brady And The Con Chords, alongside recordings by Pen Lucy and Gus Johnson with Hope. The package also includes liner notes by former Chariot owner and producer Brent Gordon.
The 1960s were exhilarating times for the music business. Independent labels across the United States were creating overnight sensations almost daily. Creative hubs such as Detroit, Memphis, Chicago, and Los Angeles were shaping and defining the sounds of tomorrow—today. Among these vibrant scenes was Baltimore, Maryland, home to Chariot Records, a label that delivered a deeply soulful strain of R&B unlike anything else in the country.
Omnivore Recordings, the award-winning reissue label, is proud to present the recorded legacy of Chariot Records. Founded in the mid-1960s by three record promotion men, the label enjoyed a brief but impactful run from 1966 to 1972, primarily releasing singles that captured the spirit and energy of the era.
What’s Happening!!: The Chariot Records Story is the first official chronicle of the label’s recorded output. This expansive 2-CD collection brings together the complete recorded catalogue of Bob Brady And The Con Chords, alongside the full Chariot Records discography, creating the definitive document of one of Baltimore’s most distinctive independent labels.
