Capricorn Records

Capricorn Records was an influential American record label founded in 1969 in Macon, Georgia. It specialized in Southern rock, country, and blues, promoting artists like The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and 38 Special. Known for nurturing Southern musical talent, it played a key role in shaping the region’s rock scene during the 1970s. The label operated independently for many years, helping establish a distinct sound that blended rock and southern culture. Although it faced challenges in the 1980s and changed ownership, Capricorn Records remains a significant name in American music history for its contributions to Southern rock’s development.
