Here I am again on my soapbox about artists preserving their catalogs on digital music platforms for future generations to discover.

Picture it. It’s 2012. I’m sitting on Music Row in the office of Rolling Thunder Management trying to figure out how to get a few albums my friend Deborah Allen recorded for Capitol Records, RCA Records, and Giant Records onto digital music platforms. Spotify was just getting started. Apple Music didn’t exist yet. iTunes was king.
