The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

the standard route for popular music songwriter to publisher to label to artist survived the 60s only to be over run by a generation of folkies agog at giants strumming in the rearview. they were inspired by iconoclasts from charley patton to woody guthrie, artists entirely reliant on one guitar, one voice, and ones own words. but our heroes were not the agrarian luddites of yesterfolk. each of our lonesome heroes began his journey from a wildly divergent place. some of the stops may been similar, but each was made in different ways at different times for different reasons. all these travelers some how found their ultimate destination on this disc. from artists who never played one professional gig to those that never stopped playing professionally, whose only shared experience is a journey set upon with no known end, sharing their thoughts, emotions and dreams with a lonely few along the way. 17 rare tracks by folk unknowns jim schoenfeld, jim ransom, richard smyrnios, tucker zimmermann, kierian white, les moore, rob carr, jack hardy, george cromarty, jay bolotin, tony trosley, roger lewis, tim ward, david kaufmann, john villemonte, bob brownand robb kunkel. 40 page booklet with extensive photo gallery,essay and artist bios.
