CD Reviews

The First Lady Of The Blues Returns To The Scene!

James Stettler | Los Angeles, California United States | 05/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It is time for Mamie Smith fans and collectors to rejoice. Columbia Legacy has released a set of the best of her performances for the label and it is perfection! The remastering makes Mamie Smith's singing totally accessable for the first time and she was a powerful and expressive singer. This lady was the first vaudeville blues singer to record and she set the stage and standard for all who would follow her. These would include Bessie, Clara, Trixie, and Laura Smith (none related) as well as Rosa Henderson, Hazel Meyers, Ethel Waters, and many others.Mamie was a great entertainer and her recordings tend to feature "showstoppers" rather than strictly mournful blues. Buy this CD for the wonderful photographs of Mamie as well as the ads, some seen for the first time since original publication.If you have the four volume complete Mamie Smith released on Document, you will still need this set for the first rate booklet notes and superior sound.
Buy it and Mamie will help you "Keep A Song In Your Soul"!"
