The story:
Just two blocks from Arnold’s Bar and Grill sits the historic Herzog Studio, one of the most important rooms in early country music. In 1948 and 1949, Hank Williams Sr recorded eight songs there over two four song sessions — the only MGM sessions he ever cut outside Nashville. For anyone who loves roots music, Herzog is sacred ground.

Race Street Revival: The Herzog Sessions is a modern return to that room. We rented out the now-closed space and recorded a new split album in the exact place where Hank stood seventy five years ago. The project pairs two of Cincinnati’s most beloved Americana bands — The Tillers and Buffalo Wabs and The Price Hill Hustle — to honor both Hank’s legacy and Cincinnati’s overlooked role in country music history. Produced with Neltner Small Batch Records, the album is meant to feel like a bridge between past and present.

For over a decade, Arnold’s and Neltner Small Batch have created limited-run vinyl tied to Cincinnati’s musical roots. This is our biggest project yet — and the first time one of these releases will be available digitally. To make it possible, Maker’s Mark stepped in to help expand the album without losing the intimate spirit of the series.

Race Street Revival arrives Black Friday, 11/28/2025 on limited edition sea glass splatter vinyl.

This album is more than a tribute. It’s a living continuation of what happened on Race Street — two Cincinnati bands standing in the same room where Hank recorded “Lovesick Blues,” “Mansion on the Hill,” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” carrying that heritage forward. It’s a Cincinnati story told in the place where American music was shaped.
