CURB RECORDS

'Curb Records' is a record label started by Mike Curb in 1973, after leaving MGM Records. Although the label specializes in country music, Curb Records' first national success was the release (through Warner Bros. Records) of The Four Seasons comeback album, ''Who Loves You'', and the singles that came from it in late 1975 and early 1976.
Curb Records currently contracts such artists as Tim McGraw, Sawyer Brown, LeAnn Rimes, Hank Williams Jr., Hank Williams III, Hal Ketchum and Jo Dee Messina, who were distributed by Warner Bros., RCA Records, Capitol Records and MCA Records at various times.
Curb has arrangement with Wal-Mart to sell music online through Wal-Mart's new online music download store.
In late 2002 Curb Records also acquired a stake in Word Records from then-owners Time Warner. Curb still holds stake in Word even though Time Warner's stake was sold to newly formed spin-off Warner Music Group in 2004.
2006 GMA Music Award Female Vocalist of the Year Natalie Grant is signed to Curb Records. Former American Idol Kimberley Locke is also a member of the Curb roster.
In 2006 Curb launched a sister imprint, Bruc Records, the name of which is an acronym for "Blues, Rock, Urban, Country" (the name is also "Curb" spelled backwards). Hank III's third studio release, ''Straight to Hell'', was the first album to be released on the new imprint.
