Chance Martin (1946–2023)

We’re sorry to share the sad news that our friend Chance Martin passed away last night. We’re grateful to Chance (aka Alamo Jones, the Voice in Black aka the Stoned Ranger) for collaborating with us to reissue his utterly unique 1981 private-press countrydelic masterpiece In Search in 2013. It was our seventh release, and one of the first in which we went all-in with extensive liner notes, archival materials, and an unbelievable oral history.

The Power of Chance Compels You.

Chance’s manic, unforgettable In Search album is now finally available, after more than thirty years of waiting. You’ll want to pick up a copy of this countrydelic masterpiece ASAP, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s a selection of the rave reviews coming in what promises to be one of the year’s most memorable releases.
