Recorded by Papa Charlie Jackson in 1925 this is one of the first (if not the first) recordings of the blues standard "Spoonful", which was made well known by many later musicians such as Charley Patton (who this song is often mistakenly credited to), Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. Papa Charlie Jackson was one of the first musicians to record a conventional blues and was one of Paramounts best sellers along with Blind Blake and Blind Lemon Jefferson. He was well known for his witty lyrics, Guitjo and double edged metaphors. He also played as an accompanist to some big musicians such as Ida Cox and Bessie Smith.. + Informações

This recording is in the public domain. Born Charles Alexander Jackson,[3] he originally performed in minstrel and medicine shows. Jackson was playing all around Chicago in the early 1920s. He was noted for busking at Chicago's Maxwell Street Market.[2] He soon recorded "Papa's Lawdy Lawdy Blues" and "Airy Man Blues", the first commercially successful, self-accompanied recordings, by a male singer of the blues. One of his following tracks, "Salty Dog Blues", became his most famous song. He soon began cutting records with Ida Cox, Hattie McDaniel and Ma Rainey.[2] The late 1920s saw Jackson reach the pinnacle of his career, recording "Papa Charlie and Blind Blake Talk About It" (a two-part song) with Blind Blake.[1] A few more recordings followed before the 1930s, but then Jackson left Paramount Records and moved to Okeh Records, recording with Big Bill Broonzy.[2] His importance in the history of the blues has been lessened by several factors. His flair for unique and irreverent material, similar to that of Charley Patton, along with his fast upbeat tempo which made his records sell, did not fit into the traditional blues category.

The rest contained a lot of "hiss" since Paramount used inferior quality materials in their pressing of records. Also, his banjo was not viewed as a traditional blues instrument. However, no one has duplicated his unique .... + Informações
