My favorite is [Bloodshot Records](http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/). I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed with any disc I’ve listened to with their label on it.
From their philosophy statement:

> From our shabby offices on a bleak stretch of Irving Park in the fine city of Chicago, we will, with your help, continue to churn out CDs that serve as a burr under the saddle of all the amoral forces responsible for the free fall decline of contemporary music. Help us keep our steel-toed work boots firmly on the throats of the enemy.
I’ve become assured enough of their ability to pick good music that I’d be comfortable ordering anything from them without hearing it first. Case in point is the terrific **Alejandro Escovedo** disc I’ve got spinning right now. It’s an interesting mix of Tejano, Rock and even some country.

The other thread has some replies already, so I’ll close this one.
