There are a couple of names here, like Memphis Minnie and Lucille
Bogan, that will be familiar to fans of the early blues on this
interesting collection of female blues singers who recorded between
1923 and 1930, but most of these singers will be unknown to all but
the most serious blues scholars and collectors. Most of them
recorded sparingly, often cutting only the two sides of a single
78, before vanishing into the mists of history, remaining now only
as vocal ghosts in the digital glow of the 21st century. Those
voices, however, remain amazingly powerful, and the honest
coarseness and barely veiled sexual themes of these songs is oddly
refreshing and hopeful, and the directness of some of these sides
seems bold even by today's standards. The little-known Margaret
Johnson is a case in point. Her two-sided 78, which included the
to-the-point-and-suffer-no-fools "Dead Drunk Blues," a song that
could only be called a blues dirge, and the bright-sounding (but
not really) "Second-Handed Blues," explores the universal themes of
the wages and costs of love with all the subtlety of a hammer
thrown through a pane of glass. The directness is startling,
revealing, redemptive, and even a little frightening. In other
words, it's everything the blues should be. ~ Steve Leggett
