Welcome to the Variety of American Classic Recordings (TM)!
American Classic Recordings (ACR) is an independent, artist-operated record label producing professional-quality recordings by people who live or have lived in America and who love our country. Our earliest releases have featured country, Gospel, and pop music.
If you have heard any tracks from American Classic Recordings.com, you will know that we feature outstanding vocalists, live musicicians, and world-class engineering. Most tracks feature multiple live instruments - a rarity in today's world of studio-manufactured sound.
Many releases to date have had Christian themes. We just can't help but sing our faith from the rooftops. Please see our main page, americanclassicrecordings.com for a full list of releases.
In the spirit of America, we do have some that are what you might call "variety." These can be enjoyed by people of all faiths and forms of seeking. Although these Variety songs are all consistent with the beliefs of the singers (clean!) but are not about those beliefs.
If you are a radio programmer subscribed to AirplayDirect.com, or a music supervisor subscribed to MusicSupervisor.com, you can find these tracks at our American Classic Recordings page. You can also find them on CDBaby.com, itunes.com, napster.com, rhapsody.com, and other online music vendors. Happy downloading!

Sheet music is now available for the following songs:
FROM MY COUNTRY
Borderline
Heart on My Sleeve
My Man
Just Not Now
One Shoe
Every Mountaintop
Daddys Crown
Mi Teddy
Who's Walkin' Who?
Magdalena - Coming Back
Good Guys
Get Up and Go
We Thank You
Song themes in MY COUNTRY include trials of codependency ("Borderline"), heartbreak and healing ("Heart on My Sleeve," "Just Not Now"), joys of adoption ("Mi Teddy"), anguish of temptation ("My Man"), despair of addiction and hope of recovery ("One Shoe," "Every Mountaintop"), a changing neighborhood seen in walks with a faithful dog ("Who's Walkin' Who"), zeal for worship and service ("Get Up and Go"), and the nature of true love--seen in Jesus's love for Mary Magdalene: "Magdalena: Coming Back" is the Christian answer to the Da Vinci code! The secret bonus rockabilly track about scorned love could make you laugh or cry, depending.
FROM DAY OF PRAISE
Holy Spirit

Scriptural Basis for the Label
Scriptural Basis for the Label
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” (Psalm 100)
Joy in the Lord will infuse all of the music this label creates, in every mood and genre.
“Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”
(Matthew 15:16)
This label will help musical and visual artists show their light to others.
“The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.” (Matthew 25: 16 - 17, in the Parable of the Talents)
We will strive to enable investing stewards to gain a good return on their investment of talent, time, and/or treasure.
The founders are believing Christians who feel a deep kinship with all who share a faith in the God of Abraham. We respect freedom of worship and freedom of thought, welcoming co-artists of all varieties and shades of belief and searching. Yet it is the Holy Spirit Who shall guide this endeavor. All song lyrics will be consistent with Christ-centered values, while respecting the artist's need for personal and honest expression of the truth as the artist sees it.
