Chief Records is a family owned and operated shop in the heart of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, run by people who grew up going to the Ernest Tubb Record Shop for Western Swing, Honky Tonk, Bluegrass and country music, back when A.J. Lockett or Jim Stinson would track down any obscure request and tell you when it was cut, where, who played on it and where it charted. They took over that shop and preserve the music and culture under the name Chief Records, named in honour of Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys, the man who built a country style out of the Texas dance halls and honky tonks and played Panther Hall and Billy Bob's for over 60 years. The store is your connection to hard-to-find vinyl including classic country, roots and blues, and today carries all genres, with CDs, clothing and events too.
