Some people thought Jade Tree stopped releasing records. Some think Jade Tree is making a comeback. Neither is true. - Darren Walters [Jade Tree Records]
I just finished reading the piece that Jade Tree's Darren Walters wrote on Billboard about running the label over the past 15 years. It's a good read and at least the second or third thing I've come across over the past week that reminds us that music is a work of love. If you're getting into it for the money, you've got the wrong idea. I write this blog and listen to a shit ton of music because I love it. I don't make a dime from any of it and it feels like a huge waste of time a lot of the time. But, in the end, I love music and I love posting things to the internet in support of the artists and dreamers that make it real. I have a bunch of Jade Tree records in my collection and frankly, I thought they stopped releasing records a while back too. I'm glad they haven't stopped. I'm glad they are where they want to be. Thanks Darren, for everything you have done for the fans and the music community over the past 15+ years. Can't wait to hear what's next.
