I Want Plenty Grease In My Frying Pan – Forgotten Blues Ladies Pt. 3:
Woman blues singers seem to get shortchanged when it comes to interest among blues fans or reissue companies. I'm not talking about heavy hitters like Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, but the dozens and dozens of fine singers who recorded in their shadows during the 1920's and 30's. This show is dedicated to singers like Ida May Mack, Elzadie Robinson, Bessie Tucker, Madlyn Davis and others; in some cases they recorded dozens of sides or just a handful, some were quite popular in their day while other achieved little or no success yet they cut some exceptional blues records that, outside of collectors, remain all but forgotten today.
Bonus Cuts: Genevieve Davis - Haven't Got A Dollar To Pay Your House Rent Man, Liza Brown – Peddlin' Blues
