“This reference should be on the bookshelf of any serious blues aficionado.

Kudo’s to Vicente Zúmel for recognizing the value of the women of the blues with a special book of reviews that casts a light on their unique contributions to the genre”
Barbara Newman, President and CEO of The Blues Foundation, Memphis.

“With his book, Vicente Zúmel has given us a deeper look into the musical stylings of some of the finest female singers. Through his reviews of their respective recordings, we are offered a critical insight into the unique individual styles of these dynamic female artists”
Billy Branch, blues harmonica player and singer from Chicago

“The first book from the man known worldwide as Spain’s premier blues radio programmer and one of Europe’s most respected blues journalists. A treasure trove for anyone interested in today’s blues”.
