CARDINAL Records

-

In the 1960s, Cardinal Records, a small, independent label based in High Island, Texas, made its mark with a single known release: Billy Don's "Walkin' Home at Midnight" . This rare 7" vinyl, now a collectible gem among enthusiasts of regional Texas music, epitomizes the raw, authentic sound of the local scene during that era. Although Cardinal Records was short-lived, its contribution to the Gulf Coast's rich musical landscape serves as a reminder of the many small labels that helped shape Texas' diverse music history.
