The Architecture of the Album: Honoring the Body of Work
In an era of fleeting singles and algorithmic playlists, the album remains the definitive mainstay of the music industry—a cohesive statement that captures an artist’s evolution in a specific moment of time. Honoring a body of work means respecting the narrative arc of a career, acknowledging that each record is a chapter in a larger story. At Root Nine Records, we believe in the sanctity of these collections as they were originally intended to be heard.
The New Box Set Series: Summer Edition 2026
We are proud to announce the next installment of our archival series, celebrating the grit, soul, and growth of Bobby Carrillo-Thompson. This collection, The Albums: Volume 2 (2018–2025), serves as a bridge through seven years of relentless creativity and performance.
The collection includes Shine (2025), Old Home (2021), Bobby Thompson (2019), Retrospect (2018), and Live by the Creek (2018) by Revelator Hill with Ron Holloway.
This series is dedicated to the preservation of the original experience. These five albums are released here in their original form—no bonus tracks, no modern remixes, and no alternate takes. We are presenting them exactly as they came out, honoring the production choices and the emotional headspace of each release.
Release Details
The series is a Root Nine Records project with a release date of June 12, 2026. Digital and physical pre-orders will be available soon.
