Jack White and Revenant Records’ founder Dean Blackwood joined PBS host Charlie Rose recently to discuss the release of “The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records 1917-1932, Volume 1”, and video of the full interview is available.
The box set features 800 songs, original ads from the era, two books, and six 180-gram vinyl LPs, and includes music recorded by Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Fletcher Henderson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jelly Roll Morton and Ethel Waters, among others.
White recently picked up a pair of 2014 Grammy Award nominations.
“I’m Shakin’”, the fourth single from his 2012 solo debut, “Blunderbuss”, earned nods for "Best Rock Performance" and “Best Music Video.”
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held January 26, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
White is reportedly working on a follow-up to "Blunderbuss."
