High Water Recording Company is an American blues record label, founded in 1979 by David Evans and Memphis State University.[1]
The label initially only issued singles. From 1983 onwards, it released LPs of recordings by blues and gospel musicians from the Memphis area produced by Evans. Almost all recordings since 1997 were re-released on Hightone Records.[2] In 2008, HighTone was bought by Shout! Factory,[3]
