Waffle House Jukebox Favourites Vol. 1

Waffle House is a collection of chain restaurants in the southern United States. For decades, it’s also been making jukebox music about itself.

Joe Rogers Sr., the co-founder of Waffle House, first had the idea to make Waffle House-inspired music in the 1980s. The songs, which accompany a wide range of genres, are more inclined into mood music than commercials. According to Shelby White, head of Waffle Records:

It’s not “Waffle House, Waffle House, Waffle House” over and over again. It’s about our food. It’s about our people. It’s about the things that happen if you just sit in a Waffle House and listen to the conversations around you. We try to represent all that to some degree in the songs.
