The Paramount Masters

Search: Sweet Bird
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 01, 2004
This is the Motherlode of pre-war blues reissues. It is likely JSP's finest release to date. Paramount started business in Wisconsin as a furniture manufacturer in the late 1800's but figured that the demand for record playing machines ensconced in wood cabinets would create a new market for shellac and vinyl records as well. In spite of their hamfisted business practices (Paramount was bankrupt by the 1930's), they managed to get a whole lot of fabulous Afro-American talent to record for their label (thanks to talent scout J. Mayo Williams), the likes of Charley Patton, Meade Lux Lewis, Bo Weevil Jackson, Bumble Bee Slim, Moanin' Bernice Edwards, Little Brother Montgomery, Roosevelt Sykes, Charlie Spand, Papa Charlie Jackson, and of course, the ...

The Wamdue mix is more original and melodic than Calderone's but less hard. It is a beautiful mix and was a surprising treat considering Wamdue's limited reputation in the US as of now. The Ananda mix is also quite good, but less so than ... Read More:
