CD Reviews

A great career overview

M. Tarr | Albany, NY | 08/30/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great overview of Irma's career @ Rounder Records, which also includes 3 new tracks recorded just for this release. It also gathers a few songs which appeared on other releases, such as Backwater Blues, which first appeared on a CD called "Our New Orleans", which was released shortly after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. This is a great collection, especially for those not familiar w/ her work."
