The Bottom Line Archive

Series In 2015, The Bottom Line Archive decided to re-launch the historic Bottom Line Archive Series, which celebrated the release of three new titles in March 2015, each recorded live at the club: Kenny Rankin Plays The Beatles & More (1990); The Brecker Brothers (1976); and Willie Nile (1980 & 2000). These three releases signaled the start of an extensive quarterly roll out of more than 24 new titles over the next two years, including classic live performances by John Hiatt, Harry Chapin, Emmylou Harris, Janis Ian, Savoy Brown, Ralph Stanley, Jorma Kaukonen and Rory Gallagher, among others. The next releases are scheduled for June 30th and include: Harry Chapin (1981), Janis Ian (1980), In Their Own Words Vol. 1 (1990-1996) – with performances by Dion, Barrett Strong, Joey Ramone, Richard Thompson, Ric Ocasek, Lucinda Williams, and more – and In Their Own Words Vol. 2 (1990-1996) – with performances by Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg, John Cale, David Johansen, Suzanne Vega, Chris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook and more. The Bottom Line Archive contains over 1000 shows recorded during the club's 30-year run, from 1974-2004.
