I have no idea whayt this means for the future of Compadre – home of Billy Joe Shaver and James McMurtry – I just hope it doesn’t start to blow. – From Country Standard Time – Tuesday, February 27, 2007 – Compadre Records, the Houston roots music label, was bought by Music World Entertainment, owned by Mathew Knowles, father of Beyonce.
