Regard Records was a small, independent record label based in Beaumont, Texas, primarily active in the 1960s. Known for capturing a slice of local talent, Regard Records was particularly focused on genres that resonated with Texas music scenes, such as country, folk, and early rock influences. It was part of a wave of regional labels that emerged in the mid-20th century to document and promote local artists who often brought a distinct, homegrown sound to their recordings.
Gordon Baxter was one of the artists featured on Regard Records. Known for his storytelling approach to songwriting, Baxter's work with Regard Records includes at least two notable tracks: "We Just Called Him Sam" and "Why Must the Brave Die Young?" Both songs were produced by Lee Ashworth, a figure involved with several projects on the label.
