Hit The Hay

Sound Asleep Records was started back in 1994 when Jerker Emanuelson from small-town Vara, Sweden, decided that there was way too much great American music that was being heard by too few. The result of this was the release of the first Hit The Hay compilation CD. The mix of pop and more roots-oriented stuff on the same compilation was something new and turned out to be a great success. This CD set the standards for everything else the label has released after that. Volume 9 was released in 2017.
