Excellent album devoted to great twenties and thirties blues women on the first part and the rest to forties and fifties ones First twelve songs belong to a series of countryside blueswomen who performed rural blues, singing and playing their own guitar or piano and sometimes backed by a second guitar, such as Memphis Minnie, Louise Johnson, Arizona Dranes, Mattie Delaney, Lulu Jackson or Kansas City Kitty From song thirteen to twenty four you will find a selection of urban blues singer women, all them backed by a wider instrumental background, even including drums and horn sections Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Georgia White, Julia Lee, Camille Howard or Hadda Brooks are some of the most outstanding names included
