James Booker - The Lost Paramount Tapes (1995)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 16 Aug 2023 19:26:28

This is a disc made by one of the best piano players to come out of New Orleans, James Booker, playing with an all-star band of New Orleans musicians, most of whom Booker befriended during his days with Dr. John. The music sparkles, all the more amazing because it was recorded live in the L.A. area with no overdubs in 1973, and is just being released in 1995 because it was lost for 20 years. This disc hits a groove and does not quit, shifting from straight-ahead blues to an R&B beat, drifting into some complex Caribbean rhythms, moving off into some jazz riffs, but all the time maintaining the original blues feel it started with. All the players get to shine, but it is definitely James Booker's disc.

Review by Bob Gottlieb, Allmusic.com

Like any New Orleans piano buff, I was astounded to see this posthumous release of an entire James Booker studio compact disc, especially one with so many quality New Orleans musicians in support. Recorded in Los Angeles in 1973, the piano prince is back by the likes of David Lastie, Jessie Hill, Alvin 'Shine' Robinson, John Bourdreaux and 'Didymus' Washington. Seeing the light of day for the first time, it's amazing that these gems remained unreleased, especially considering how Booker's legend continues to grow long after his tragic death. The Lost Paramount Tapes only add to Booker's legacy and make you wish that he was still playing at the Maple Leaf.
