As the title implies, I (along with one of my best friends), just started a record label. With a business model inspired by Paramount (you know, before the depression hit, while it was still successful) and Vocalion in the '30s (payment per song, simple setup for recordings, large variety of artists) as well as Chess in the '50s and '60s (we're doing live recordings, having an in house songwriter for our artists a la Willie Dixon) and our first release being my album featuring some CB covers. I hope you all find it interesting with more to come when the first release is made, and as Lemon Jefferson once said, "Happy New Year Folks!"
Also, for any of those who have taken notice of me in the past, perhaps with my completist rant on a Lead Belly post a few weeks ago (For Christmas for myself, I paid $150 for a box set containing 16 alternative takes of songs, all but four I already have other versions of. Yes, I'm that kind of completist, or maybe regarding my Son House documentary (just got approved by Sony for music licensing, took a little longer considering my age, which was fair enough) or even for those who haven't heard of me before, I have one final thing to say.
I'm James, the one on the right in the photo.
