Record Store Day is this Saturday, April 22nd! It's the biggest day of the year for independent record stores. This is the day exclusive titles - often pressed in very limited quantities - are offered for sale at indie brick-and-mortar stores only. These titles are not available online and are not available from big box stores. Any remaining inventory after Saturday will be posted for sale online.
T Bone Burnett comes back to Fort Worth to be honored with a street named for him. It is the street where Record Town resides - the store he grew up going to with his childhood friend Stephen Bruton. Record Town is where T Bone Burnett engaged his love for music that would eventually become the career it is today.
Record Town opened for business on February 1, 1957 in Fort Worth, Texas. Kathleen and Sumter Bruton II decided to open a record store because of their deep love and knowledge of music.
