Between 1986 and 1992, seventeen recordings were released by Local Folkel Records. The owners of Local Folkel Records - Joe LaMay and Allen Power - had one goal in mind when they went national with their regional label. That goal was to help singer/songwriters produce albums of their songs and get them played on the radio. In no small part that goal was achieved. Local Folkel Records was a significant stepping stone in the careers of each of the artists represented by the label.

Some of these recordings are still available from the individual artists. If you have any have any questions about purchasing any of these recordings - feel free to contact:
