Between 1995 and 2000, the label issued three albums by James Armstrong (Sleeping with a Stranger, Dark Night, and Got It Goin' On).[3] From 1997 to 2005 it reissued much of the High Water Recording Company catalogue of LPs on CD.[4] In 1997, Clara McDaniel recorded her debut album, Unwanted Child, which was released on HighTone.[5]
In September 2006, the label released a five CD boxed set titled American Music: The HighTone Records Story. This release compiled many of the labels's most influential recordings. In 2008, the company sold the catalog to Shout! Factory, which continued to release reissues and compilations.[6] In 2016, Hightone was bought by Concord Bicycle Music[7] from Shout! Factory.
