he did with Loretta Lynn. He established
a physical studio and place to record in
2009. Third Man Records in the heart of
country music, Nashville, Tennessee.
The physical location of Third Man
Records is a combination of a records
store, performance venue and general
headquarters for the label.
Unlike many other labels, where a vinyl
record is something specially made, at Third
Man, that’s the main format of music sold.

musicians to be
studio musicians,
etc.
