CD Reviews

The "Chicks" Can Play ... And Sing!
Blues Lover | New York | 12/20/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What's so nice about this set, especially disc 1, is the sensational singing and playing of many unknown Women of the Blues. Although a huge blues fan and a big collector, several of the performers I had not heard of, such as the Lara Price Band, Alice Stuart and Carolyn Wonderland. But I have now, and they are sensational! I immediately went out and bought a cd of Stuart and Wonderland and Beverly Watkins. This is a big time gem of music. SENSATIONAL. Under $15.00 at most places, so, so worth the money. Have a quick listen to the samples and you'll be hooked and off to the store."
Nice selection

"CD 1 is the electric or "contemporary" cd with deborah coleman, joana connor, ana popovic and 12 more. CD2 is the acoustic or 'traditional CD" WITH RORY BLOCK, SUE FOLEY, JO ANN KELLY and 11 more. No matter how deeply you're into the blues, there's going to be some artists and songs that are new to you and you'll probably like more than one artist you never heard of before.

Sue Foley provides liner notes and has a song on each CD."
Plenty of R-E-S-P-E-C-T for Bonnie and ALL Blues Women!

"An earlier review disses the producers of this CD for not showcasing Bonnie Raitt. While it's true she's not "on her own" here, she does a song (singing, playing slide guitar) with Maria Muldaur on the "Contemporary" side (CD 1) that's truly wonderful. I'd bet my thumbs that Bonnie wouldn't have it any other way, lest her fame overshadow the lesser-known blueswomen heard on this recording. In addition to Queen of the Blues, Bonnie's also known as the queen of payback, making sure others get (in many cases long-overdue) attention, often sharing the limelight (like her live duet with Sippie Wallace, who wrote and sang "Women Be Wise" long before Bonnie ever set foot on a stage) and playing/singing on innumerable recordings by other musicians - like this one!"
