  • Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert

    Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert

    When I was involved with the church, there remained one thing in Christian doctrine I never could adopt: its stance on homosexuality.

Welcome to Bayou Records

Welcome to Bayou Records – Australia’s most dedicated independent vinyl record store. We specialise in Blues, Soul, Country, Jazz and Rock vinyl, with a focus on curated collections, rare finds and limited edition releases that capture the true spirit of the Bayou.

At Bayou Records, we believe the roots of all popular music can be traced back to the Bayous of the Southern USA, where Blues and Jazz first took shape. From these traditions came Soul, Country and Rock – the parent genres that inspire the records we stock today. Every album in our store is hand-selected to highlight the timeless power of music on physical media, where every groove tells part of the story.

We’re proudly independent. That means we’re not a faceless corporation pushing volume sales – we do this for the love of music. Our carefully curated catalogue includes everything from iconic classics to limited edition pressings, so whether you’re a seasoned collector chasing every variation, or someone just rediscovering the thrill of playing a record, you’ll find something that moves you.

Our user-friendly website makes it simple to browse by genre, dive deep into artist pages, and explore detailed album information. With secure checkout, fast Australian shipping, and real customer service from a local music lover, your experience is always personal and hassle-free. Based in Adelaide — fast local delivery available.

So immerse yourself in music the way it was meant to be heard – on vinyl records. With Bayou Records, you’ll rediscover the enduring beauty of Blues, Jazz, Soul, Country and Rock on physical media, and bring home pieces of history worth treasuring.
