Heavy Light Records

US record label based in Austin, Texas and founded by husband and wife Noel Waggener and Charisse Kelly. The label has a distribution deal with Seattle's Light in the Attic Records Records. The label has so far amassed more than 4,000 recordings, including a sizeable chunk licensed from the heirs of San Antonio businessman E. J. Henke, who owned several small labels, including the Harlem (3), Satin (3), and Warrior (6) imprints. Among the treasure buried in Heavy Light's stash are reels from early and unreleased Doug Sahm recordings and never-before-heard 1968 proto-funk from Mickey Foster, who later formed Mickey & the Soul Generation. There's also an embarrassing wealth of Chicano soul waiting to be compiled.
