Dex Romweber Duo featuring Jack White “The Wind Did Move” b/w “Last Kind Word Blues” 2009. Third Man Records. Earlier this week Dex Romweber Duo’s drummer, Sara Romweber (Dex’s older sister) died at age 55. In the 80′s she was part of Let’s Active who were popular on the indie/college radio scene and opened for R.E.M. “The Wind Did Move” is a blues/Americana-leaning rockabilly scorcher with backup whoops and hollers, as well as “sawing wood” by White. “Last Kind Word Blues” is a more sedate and soulful bluesy number  with an old-timey saloon flavor. It’s a cover of the song originally recorded by Geeshie Wiley, recorded in Grafton, WI for Paramount Records in 1930. Whether it was Dex or Jack who chose this, I don’t know, but Jack White has had a fascination with Paramount Records, putting out a couple of massive and expensive box sets: The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records – which I’d like to note is the same title as a grad school paper I wrote about Paramount back in the late 90′s that was published in the Wisconsin Magazine of History Vol 82, #2, Winter 1998-1999. (Doubt he read it, but maybe!)
