It had many artists signed to Stroudavarious, including Aaron Lewis, LoCash Cowboys, Shelly Fairchild, Shea Fisher, Houston County, Blaine Larsen (Treehouse), Richie McDonald, Anthony Smith and Darryl Worley. BamaJam included Tracy Lawrence, Blackberry Smoke and Matt Kennon. Country Crossing included John Anderson, Aaron Tippin, Louise Mandrell, Lee Greenwood and Lorrie Morgan. Emrose signed Margaret Durante.
James Stroud announced on May 17, 2011 the launching of the Nashville-based R&J Records. The same executive team that ran Stroudavarious Records ran the new label. Besides R&J Records, there were two concurrent labels: DMP Records and Emrose Records.
R&J was "restructured" in April 2012, with Andy Gibson transferring to Curb Records[2][3] and Maggie Rose (formerly known as Margaret Durante) moving to RPM Entertainment.[4]
