Paramount

( listen)

It is an instrumental I made up, but it owes so much to people like Blind Blake, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and David Wilcox. A quote from one of David’s tunes came out here. It is named for the Paramount 12000 series of what were called race records back in the day. Paramount was the record label for country blues greats like Skip James, Ma Rainey, and Blind Blake, so this is my tribute.
