Lazy Bones Recordings is an indie label and music publishing company founded by Scott Schorr. Its focus has always been on the music, not the hype or latest trend. We work with the finest indie bands and singer/songwriters and foster a creative environment to produce first rate recordings. With few exceptions, we work with our artists from the inception of the recording through completion of the Master. Our goal: to work with the potential "catalog" artists - one that creates numerous, meaningful recordings that will stand the test of time. Once done, Lazy Bones licenses the artists' songs to the film, television and advertising world.

A new solo album GoBONGO GoWild! was released in April 2001 displaying the vital influence that blues-based music, such as early R&B and jazz, continues to have on his performance & songwriting styles. Rave reviews for GoBONGO GoWild! led to an alliance with Shock Records & the November 2001 release of Now Listen! The Best of Ross Wilson, a 30 track, 2CD distillation of Rosss career to that point.
