ATLANTA, GA- Terminus Records will reissue two titles on vinyl by Grammy®-nominated Americana pioneer, Danny Barnes. The Atlanta-based label will reissue Things I Done Wrong by Danny Barnes & Thee Old Codgers on May 14 and Barnes’ solo effort, Dirt On The Angel, on June 12 in conjunction with Record Store Day.  This is the first time these recordings will be available on vinyl. Both of the original recordings have been re-mastered by Grammy®-nominated engineer, Pete Lyman (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell), at Infrasonic Mastering and were pressed on the highest quality vinyl by Kindercore Vinyl in Athens, Georgia, with fully reconstructed packaging. The limited-edition Dirt On The Angel will be exclusively available in select independent record stores and feature the deluxe Record Store Day treatment with colored vinyl, 180 gram pressings, and Stoughton Tip-On Gatefold jackets.

Danny Barnes is described as “one of kind” and widely acknowledged as “one of the best banjo players in America.” As founding member of Austin’s notorious Bad Livers, the banjoist/guitarist and singer/songwriter staked his claim as a traditionalist who didn’t mind breaking the rules by irreverently mixing punk, rock, rockabilly, and electronica into the bluegrass formula. In 1999, seeking a change of scenery, Barnes relocated to Seattle, where he established relationships and worked with an eclectic array of musicians including the jazz guitar virtuoso Bill Frisell, Dave Matthews, Chuck Leavell and more.  Playing with Frisell led Barnes to Wayne Horvitz, who produced Things I Done Wrong, Barnes’ first solo record for Terminus, in 2001. Barnes recorded Dirt on the Angel in 2003 with special guests including pianist Chuck Leavell, guitarist Bill Frisell, violinist Darol Anger and multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell.  The album received rave reviews.
