		These performances are amazingly both joyous and plaintive at one and the same time and often stunning in their unbridled power, and their rhythms are of such a delightful nature as to animate the spirit as well as the legs.
		We are blessed to have these remarkable old recordings still with us, and now preserved on these CDs, in all their glory, forever.
		Yazoo has been doing yeoman's service for America's home grown traditional music for decades.

	Washington Phillips
		Yazoo Records made the decision to re-issue the Washington Phillips CD, and FretlessZithers.com is proud to have contributed information regarding Phillips's instrument for the new notes.
		A note made by the studio at the time Phillips recorded credited his self-accompaniment to a "dulceola" (as it is commonly misspelled).
		The recordings were originally released under the title "I Am Born to Preach the Gospel" (Yazoo #2003).

	KBOO 90.7 FM -- Portland's Community Radio
		In 1997 I will be reviewing several record labels which have been issuing high quality recordings, most of them obscure or too new to be understood, as a sort of "survey" service.
		Yazoo was an independent, blues-based label in the 1970's, the first label to reissue very rare early country blues albums by legendary musicians such as Son House, Papa Charlie Jackson, Robert Wilkins, the Memphis Jug Band, Scrapper Blackwell, and dozens more.
		Their mission no doubt was to make money, but what they did was to document thousands of traditional musicians from around the world, often the last of the 19th century survivors, and the last "pre-technology" generation to perform tribal, ritual, or village music.

	Blues Reviews 2
		Yazoo Records is held in high regard by fans of pre-war blues and they may have raised the bar in this impeccably chosen and important series.
		Her first records were instrumental but soon she was singing scoring big with her most famous song, "That's My Desire" which starts out this set.
		Her last new recordings are from the late 90's and fine her to have aged extremely well.

		A modern recording session it wasn't—Jefferson didn't even use a microphone for many of the songs—and little thought was given to the sound quality.
		Yazoo Records, a division of New York City-based Shanachie Entertainment, just added a 23-song Best of Blind Lemon Jefferson CD to an already extensive collection of remastered prewar blues.
		Yazoo has rightfully gained a reputation among music aficionados for getting the best possible sound from 1920s acetate 78s.

	Nick Perls
		Most of Yazoo's indispensable albums (many bearing the cover illustrations by his good friend, underground artist R. Crumb) were compiled from rare 78 rpm recordings made in the 1920s by such singers and guitarists as Charlie Patton, Blind Willie McTell, the Memphis Jug Band, Blind Blake and Blind Lemon Jefferson.
		Soon Yazoo will publish its first book, a biography of blues singer Charlie Patton, written by Steve Calt, who was a regular writer of liner notes for the label's records.
		His Yazoo albums were quite outstanding and his contribution to all aspects of the blues should not be understimated.

	Washington Phillips CD study
		Bottom line: On his 16 extant recorded tracks, Washington Phillips is not playing a Dolceola, but a common fretless zither (most likely one or both of the Phonoharps in the photo), albeit with a unique, self-invented stringing and tuning pattern.
		Yazoo has released newly mastered versions of the Phillips tracks on "Key to the Kingdom" (Yazoo #2073).
		The 4th is Columbia Records’ recorder Frank Walker (this apparently from a 1961 interview with Walker.

	Mississippi John Hurt and the Delta Blues
		(Yazoo 1065) These are the original recordings performed by John prior to his "rediscovery" by Tom Hoskins in 1963.
		The sound quality is not on par with the Vanguard live recording "Best of" or with his other live recording, Mississippi John Hurt in Concert, but it is still worth the purchase just to hear John speak with the audience between songs.
		These recordings are from original masters of Hurt recordings by Tom Hoskins and until the release of this CD by Rounder were unavailable for legal reasons.

	Suction Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Combining the best elements of vintage electropop and modern electronica, Suction Records has created a distinct musical and visual esthetic that is bold yet fuzzy, confrontational yet playful, robot yet human.
		Underground electronica is currently witnessing a resurgence in '80s-influenced synthpop, but while Suction Records has clearly been at the forefront of synthpop's return to form, we are by no means a retro label.
		Acclaimed international DJ and Warp recording artist Andrew Weatherall concedes: "Suction, always a byword for quality, ransack the past and create a future that sets standards as far as electro's New Wave is concerned.

	Honey, Where You Been So Long? » Hard Time Remastering Blues
		Today’s post is about the new Yazoo Records highly touted remaster of the 1931 Paramount Sessions of Skip James.
		Re: “It sounds like they’ve slowed the songs down just a touch”, if Yazoo is using 78s as their source (it sure sounds like it), the speed might be explained by proper (or improper, I guess) playback of the 78s.
		The speed at which 78s were recorded varied widely (folks more knowledgeable than I have said anywhere from under 70 rpm to as high as 90rpm).

	CD review: "I Am Born to Preach The Gospel"
		A cross between a piano and a zither, a dolceola was manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, at the turn of the 20th Century.
		This compilation by Yazoo Records includes every song Philips ever recorded, and all were laid down between 1927 and 1929.
		While the dolceola, with its shimmering sound, gives these historic recordings a surreal sound, it is nevertheless Philips' voice that most grabs your attention.

	Blues Foundation :: Past Recipients
		Yazoo Records was started in 1967 by Nick Perls and Bernie Klatzko as an effort to make available the best in traditional Rural Blues and American music.
		Within the first three years of its existence, Yazoo had released definitive, vintage recordings for the first time of such icons as Blind Willie McTell, Big Bill Broonzy, Scrapper Blackwell and Rev. Gary Davis, as well as their historic and comprehensive album by Charlie Patton.
		When Perls died in 1987, Yazoo was purchased by Shanachie Records with the mission to continue first rate representation of Blues and early American music.

	Elijah Wald • Blues record recommendations
		Johnson was said to be Robert Johnson's favorite recording star, and as one listens to this set it is easy to see how a Delta artist would have dreamed of being able to play with this kind of delicacy, speed, and sophisticated soul.
		He was not much interested in recording, and many of his records feel somewhat repetitive, but if one searches there is plenty of variety, and Catfish records put together an excellent anthology that is unfortunately out of print.
		The result of all of this is that his complete recordings, few as they are, are not really required listening, but one does want a good, solid set of his seven or eight greatest sides.

		John was first recorded in the late 1920’s on the Okeh Record label, which went out of business during the Depression.
		John was never paid any royalties on his recordings; just a small one-time recording fee.
		After Folk and Country Blues music became popular again in the 1960’s, many record companies issued their own records of many of the country bluesmen, but in most cases none of the monies went to the bluesmen or to their rightful heirs.

		In addition to compiling definitive statements of the finest bluesmen of the 1920s and 1930s, Shanachie-owned Yazoo Records has assembled some wonderful themed compilations from the period as well.
		While "Spoonful" is probably the most commonly rendered blues standard on the collection, there's nothing quite like Charlie Patton's take, recorded by the guitarist in the late '20s for Paramount.
		Yazoo is hardly the only label to have pointed the way to such original source material, but its detailed liner notes and high mastering standards place the label a cut above the rest.

		A relative of a former employee of Paramount Records, the great pre-war blues label, had in his possession a virtual mountain of original Paramount Records artwork including a 1930 Paramount promotional calendar that was mailed out to all of Paramount's customers/record distributors.
		Besides the calendar and all the record sleeve artwork (and posters) there was also a wealth of rare photos.
		Top priority is a 2004 Paramount Records calendar (a reissue of the rare 1930 one) and Yazoo Records will be producing an accompanying CD with tunes that match the various calendar photos.

		Some of the recordings are fragmentary, and all were recorded under the simplest of conditions, with just one microphone, out on a porch or in someone's kitchen.
		Oddball record collecting mystic-savant Harry Smith was one of the first eggheady bohemian types to take stock of the vast ocean of hauntingly evocative, genuinely odd, music recorded by rural blues and country artists during the Great Depression.
		These recordings come from the days in the late '40s/early '50s when bluegrass was still ascendant, so there is a strong stylistic pull towards more melodic material, and you should be able to get your bluegrass-only pals to give it a listen...

		In fact, MacIntorsh's guitar (also represented on Yazoo 1022) is as reminiscent of the halam of the Wolof minstrels of Senegal as it is of the early white Pentecostal guitarists.
		His two-part "Prayer of Death" on Yazoo 1022 includes several traditional hymns (the religious folks didn't sing blues, but blues singers often sang religious songs), but there are also sections where Patton alternates half-sung preaching with arrhythmic interjections from his guitar, a pattern which many African griots still employ.
		As recordings spread they bred standardization, so that the "second generation" of recorded bluesmen for the most part abandoned such "irregularities" in favor of Western song forms and the codified 12-bar blues structure.

		The middle and upper Yazoo interval in the core is interpreted as representing a gradual rise in sea-level followed by sediment infilling from the west.
		While the benthic foraminiferal assemblages indicate relatively deep water, the P/B ratio records the influence and proximity of the shoreline.
