• Jack White Discusses 'Rise and Fall of Paramount Records' on 'CBS This Morning' [WATCH]

    Last year, Jack White's label Third Man Records joined forces with guitarist John Fahey's Revant Records to release "The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records, Vol.1 (1917-1927)," a six-LP box set of remastered recordings from the legendary Wisconsin-based blues label. It also included several hundred pages of biographical material, a lengthy art book and an elegant case to carry the whole set. Now he is releasing the second volume with another 800 digitally remastered tracks, 6 LPs on vinyl and much more. The former White Stripes frontman went on "CBS This Morning" over the weekend to talk about the project that took many years to compile, what his inspiration was behind it and why it is such an important collection of music. In the four-minute interview, Jack White explains his reasoning behind the project, jokingly saying that it was to show "how ludicrous I can be with my free time." As the interview goes on, you see White's reverence for the artists in the box set and the artistry that went into Paramount Records.
