Woodrich Records was an American record label based in Rogersville and Lexington, Alabama[1] in the early 1960s. It was owned by Woody Richardson, who did most of the recording in his home studio, which was in an old farmhouse outside the Lexington city limits through the early Sixties. As Woodrich Records grew, Richardson built a new building in the center of Lexington. In the early years of Woodrich, many of the artists who recorded and released albums with the label laid down their tracks at a rented studio in Nashville, Tennessee, since the home studio had no heat. The labels were blue with silver print.
