Pax Americana Recording Company, also known as just PAX-AM, is a record label founded by Ryan Adams based on his recording studio PAX-AM in 2004. Adams initially started the label in order to release demo recordings of material that his former record label, Lost Highway Records, would not release. Then after his contract with Lost Highway was fulfilled in 2008, Adams began releasing his music exclusively through PAX-AM. On or around November 5, 2010, Adams launched a new webpage for PAX AM, with announcements of upcoming double Cardinals album III/IV and offerings of previous records for sale as well as merchandise.

The company's origins stem from Adams' youth. He states: "When I was in high school, I used to pass out these cassettes that said Pax-Am Records. That was my imaginary label. They were little compilations where I played all the instruments — one track would be like a Pet Shop Boys-sounding band, another would be a metal-sounding band or a surf-rock band. I had fake names for these groups, but it was all totally me. Nobody cared, of course."
