ole’s digital division has signed a deal with Josh Thompson for digital distribution and video admin rights to new master and live recordings. The masters will be compiled into two EPs, Change: The Lost Record, Volumes 1 and 2, which will be released by ole. ole will also retain publishing rights to Thompson’s catalog through their acquisition of the Better Angels Music Publishing Group. Thompson has previously released five singles on the Billboard chart including “Way Out Here,” “Beer on the Table,” and “Won’t Be Lonely Long.” 

“Josh is a truly gifted songwriter and performer who has taken Nashville by storm,” said John Ozier, ole General Manager Creative/Nashville. “These new recordings are some of his best work by far, and we’re excited to bring them under the ole banner.”

“ole is one of the biggest names on Music Row, but more importantly, they’re dedicated to music above all else,” said Thompson. “I know that they will do everything in their power to find my songs the audience they deserve, and I’m looking forward to working with them.”
