The label is best known for producing bands such as The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. They have become synonymous with high-quality vinyl records and have created a strong presence in the music industry.
With their commitment to preserving the art of vinyl records and their dedication to supporting emerging artists, Third Man Records continues to be a driving force in the music e-commerce world.

William Tyler is an American musician and guitarist known for his folk, indie folk, and pop rock style. Born on December 25, 1979 in Nashville, TN, he has made a name for himself as a solo artist after being a member of Lambchop and Silver Jews. Throughout his career, Tyler has collaborated with notable artists such as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Charlie Louvin, and Candi Staton. With musical talent running in the family, his father is Dan Tyler and his mother is Adele Tyler.
As a versatile musician, William Tyler's music encompasses various genres including folk, indie folk, and pop rock. His unique style resonates with listeners who appreciate heartfelt melodies and captivating guitar playing.
Prior to pursuing a solo career, Tyler gained experience as a member of renowned bands such as Lambchop and Silver Jews. These early collaborations allowed him to refine his skills while also establishing connections within the music industry.

Recorded on July 18th, 2014 as the opening set for Peter Walker's psychedelic guitar experience, William Tyler's Live at Third Man Records LP was buried for far too long in their backlog of masters. Originally planned to be a live single, the full, 5-song performance was too truthy, too seamless, and too perfectly whole to be whittled down to two tracks. So, surprise! A live LP is born.

For those unfamiliar with William Tyler, his story is Nashville legend... born into a songwriting family, Tyler was tapped by Kurt Wagner to become a member of Lambchop at age 19 (two decades younger than the other members), and quickly became the ''architect of the band's sound.' From there, Tyler went on to back up the Silver Jews, Bonnie ''Prince'' Billy, Charlie Louvin, and others... all the while writing songs for his configuration of choice: fingerpicking solo guitar. The acoustic simplicity of his first two albums remains in his most recent effort (which he describes as ''a love letter to what we're losing in America. To what we've already lost''), and on this live LP, but Tyler is bringing more depth and more experimentation to his compositions of late. 'Gone Clear' (known as 'Going Clear' at the time of our recording) which appears on both records, is a melting pot of ideas: a drone reminiscent of Hindustani classical music, a central melody that sounds distinctly Appalachian, a devolution into a kaleidoscope of colours and ideas that it's hard to believe is being produced by a single musician. This layering of textures is Tyler's trademark, and even more awe-inspiring live.
