Detailed discography
Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman asked Document Records to produce a CD which would be part of a life long ambition; to pay tribute to and share with others the music that he has loved and been influenced by, The Blues. This double CD, accompanied by a twenty-four page colour booklet, compliments the book, television documentary and DVD of the same name. It features some of the very best blues to have been recorded from the early “Classic” female blues and “Country Blues” of the nineteen-twenties through to the electric “Down Home” blues of Chicago.
Whether you are a collector or just inquisitive about what the blues are and the history the music, this CD is one of the finest collections of vintage blues recordings available. Continued... More Info on our New Store >> |

Review by Bruce Eder The first 27 of Papa Charlie Jackson's recorded works is, on about ten counts, one of the most important blues documents you can find, dating all the way back to August of 1924, before there was even electrical recording or a true definition to "blues." Indeed, the popular highlight is a dance number called Shake That Thing, which fairly overwhelmed a lot of Jackson's truer blues records with its beat. The opening number, Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues, shows a kind of formative blues, with it and its B-side Airy Man (aka "Hairy Man") Blues closer in spirit to comic novelty numbers. The hybrid banjo-guitar that Jackson played was an absolute necessity on these and his other early records, for it was more audible than any guitar of the era would have been, and serves to keep a beat as well as provide full accompaniment.

Detailed discography.
Twenty-six of Papa Charlie Jackson’s recordings dating between February 1926 and September 1928, and an extraordinary volume this is. Now firmly ensconced in the electrical recording era, the sound on these records brings out the rich texture of Jackson’s banjo playing, and his singing is thoroughly enjoyable, as he runs through thinly veiled topical songs (Judge Cliff Davis Blues), playful romantic pieces (Butter and Egg Man Blues), bouncy rags (Look Out Papa Don’t Tear Your Pants), and more ambitious remakes of his early songs, most notably an outtake of Salty Dog, cut with Freddie Keppard’s Jazz Cardinals (with New Orleans jazz great Johnny Dodds on clarinet).

Ma Rainey and Papa Charlie Jackson
Hattie McDaniels And Dentist Jackson (Papa Charlie Jackson)
Papa Charlie Jackson and Blind Blake
Genres: Pre-war blues, Country Blues, Early Chicago blues, Female blues.
Informative booklet notes by Chris Smith.
Detailed discography.
Papa Charlie Jackson's last 25 recordings, dating from September of 1928 through November of 1934, and doing more proper blues here than on either previous volume. By the time of the release of the material here, Jackson was one of the most seasoned of studio bluesmen, with nearly half a decade recording experience behind him — his vocal presence on all of these records is extraordinary, and he knows how to get the most out of his instrument, guitar or banjo.
