DELMARK RECORDS

Bob Koester, owner of Delmark Records, has run his company based on his love of music from two specific genres, traditional blues and jazz.

Delmark Records has had a hegemonic presence within the blues industry. It is known throughout the world by true blues fans as well as browsers of the genre. Some of the most prolific blues ever recorded have come about as a direct result of Delmark sessions. For the last four decades the record company has captured on vinyl, tapes, and lately CDs the rare essence of the blues. Within the traditionally solid styles of the genre, Delmark has amassed a vast quantity of newly released and reissued material.

There are many independent labels scattered across the United States and throughout Europe that have a more than satisfactory catalog, but few have gotten started purely for the love of rare music. Almost none continue to operate for this reason. Most start off with noble intentions. Because blues is part of the oldest and most significant of all American music it can evoke a feeling of truth and accentuate the many injustices of the world. Immediately a hero the label owner steps up to right the wrongs and give the artist a shot at what he or she deserves. But somewhere along the way the original intent gets lost and the poison apple of commercialism taints the plan. Delmark however seems not to have bitten from the forbidden fruit. Delmark is consistent, lying close to the line of traditionalism.
