"Just like Alberta Hunter,Victoria Spivey and Ida Cox - her contemporaries who survived first wave of blues popular phase in 1920's and recorded thier best work in later years - Sippie Wallace recorded this album at the age of 67,thus making her best album ever.With all respect,I never find her young voice very appealing,but in this stage of her life lady was a dynamite! She was fun to listen,tackled happy and sad songs with a same intensity and it was THIS album that impressed then-young Bonnie Raitt enough to give her inspiration to be blues singer.Some liner notes are wrong: not all the songs were written by Sippie Wallace,"Black Snake blues" was actually big self-penned hit for Victoria Spivey,and the backing band picture shows later-better known Maria Muldaur who is nowhere to be heard on the album (there are no background singers on the album and she is listed as vocal?) but musisc is a first class document of Sippie Wallace's moment of glory in her later,mature and simply great years."

Sippie's best

"This is Sippie Wallace at her best. This origional 1969 lp "Mighty Tight Woman" is reissued with origional lp liner notes. Wallace's voice is highly appealing, a trluly great blues singer. Recommended to blues and jazz collectors."
