We built a radio station out of our record shop.

https://bigblackcowrecords.com/radio/

Seventeen stations of what we actually play behind the counter. Muscle Shoals soul.
Midnight drives. Dusty 45s. Outlaw country. Jazz at 3 a.m. Fifty tracks deep, each one, picked by hand by people who sell records for a living.

No algorithm. No pay-to-play, ever. Nobody buys their way onto this dial.

The house band is The Family.

Rock and Folk in France gave the album 4/4 and called it a masterpiece from beginning to end. No Depression called it a potent, singular blend of R&B, country, folk, rock, and pop.

You’ll hear them on The Rotation, Shoals Sounds and Night Drive.

It’s free. It always will be.

Comment RADIO and we’ll send you the dial. Or it’s in the bio.

YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF.

We’re The Family. When nobody stepped up to put Delusions of Grandeur into the world, we stopped waiting.

Our family took the vintage record business we had built from the ground up and turned Big Black Cow Records into our own independent label.

We didn’t find a label to bet on us. We built one and bet on ourselves.

We pressed it. Distributed it. Marketed it. Shipped it.

And you showed up.

🎧 207,571 Spotify streams and counting
💿 10,000+ records sold through our independent vinyl business
💰 Well over $100K in sales across vintage vinyl + Delusions of Grandeur
🌎 Listeners and customers around the world
📰 Press across the U.S. and overseas
🎸 Shows happening, more coming
🎙️ And we’re already cutting the next record

To every independent artist wondering if you can break through without waiting for someone to pick you:

YOU CAN.

They told us no.
You said yes.

AT THE CORE OF BIG BLACK COW RECORDS IS… RECORDS. 🐄💿

Before the releases, the PR campaigns, the videos, the ads and everything else that goes into running an independent record label, we’re a vintage record store.

We buy records. We clean records. We grade them. We pack them. We ship them. And we do it every damn day.

That side of Big Black Cow Records is what keeps this whole machine moving — and helps give us the ability to take chances on music we believe deserves to be heard.

So when you buy a vintage record from us, you’re doing more than adding another great album to your collection. You’re helping fund an independent record label.

🐄 SHOP THE HERD → BIGBLACKCOWRECORDS.COM

Buy records. Fund records. Keep independent music alive.
