-----------July 28, 2007Word Reps' Canaan Comments Shot DownThere's a news story on Reuters that more or less shoots down the info Daniel Mount was given at a trade convention a few weeks ago regarding the immediate future of Canaan Records. On the question of whether or not Canaan's music will be available in digital formats, there's a quote by Dean Hopper: Dean Hopper said he's particularly excited about the label's digital initiatives. "The digital age is here. How are we going to compete? How are we going to move our music into the future? I think Word has got the best handle on that." Granted, there are no details and Daniel's question was regarding back catalog, not the Hoppers. At the very least, though, it appears Canaan will make sure the music of the Hoppers is available via digital distribution channels. Let's hope they consider their old material worthy of digital distribution as well. Another sentence that caught my attention addressed Daniel's question of whether or not Canaan plans to sign artists other than the Hoppers. Rod Riley used to be my telephone rep at Provident back when I worked in Christian retail. Rod followed his father-in-law from Provident to Word, and he's now Word's Senior Vice President of marketing. In this Reuters article, the final sentence quotes Rod: Riley said the label is negotiating with other artists and will announce additional signings soon. This is good news. What artists would you go after if you were making signing decisions for Canaan Records? Leave a comment with your "advice" to the label. Labels: In The News, Observations
