Episode 481: Rob Sevier and Ken Shipley (of Numero Group)
This month, Numero Group issued I Shall Wear a Crown, an expansive five-LP set that explores the life and work of T. L. Barrett, a Chicago-based Pastor and musician.
It’s a testament to an the musical genius and master communication of a overlooked artist getting a long-overdue second life.
It’s what the label does best, through compilation series like Eccentric Soul and Wayfaring Strangers and spotlights on artists like Barrett and fellow should musician, Syl Johnson.
Cofounders Rob Sevier and Ken Shipley join us to discuss the new collection and life as an archival record label in an ever-shifting musical landscape.
