Lyric Street Records is an American record label specializing in country music. The label is part of the Disney Music Group, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company. President Randy Goodman, formerly a general manager for RCA Records, founded the label in 1997.[1]
The label launched a subsidiary label, Carolwood Records, in October 2008.[2] Jessica Andrews was the first artist signed to this subsidiary label, followed by Trent Tomlinson (who was formerly signed to Lyric Street proper) and Love and Theft. Carolwood was shuttered in November 2009, with most of its staff being transferred back to Lyric Street.[3] Love and Theft, Ruby Summer, and The Parks were moved to Lyric Street proper, and Tomlinson returned to it.[4]
