Ann Peebles is an American singer and songwriter, born on April 27, 1947 in East St. Louis, Illinois. She gained international acclaim for her popular Memphis soul albums in the 1970s on the Hi Records label. Not only did she sing hits for the label, but she also co-wrote them with Don Bryant, whom she later married in 1974. Ann Peebles' music has had a lasting impact and has been sampled by numerous Hip-Hop artists including RZA, Wu-Tang Clan, and Missy Elliott.

Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

If Al Green is 'heads' on the Hi Records coin, Ann Peebles is 'tails'. The signature female artist on the legendary Memphis soul and R&amp;B label, Ann Peebles rocked the pre-disco 1970s with songs of love, lost love and love straight up taken. Released in 1972 and preceding Peebles' uber classic 'I Can't Stand The Rain' by just two years, 'Straight From The Heart' proved the young soon- to-be American R&amp;B icon didn't need worldwide fame and record sales for a license to be fierce and provocative (see 'I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home Tonight', for example). Written by Ann Peebles and husband Don Bryant, 'Straight From The Heart' includes the classic R&amp;B hits 'Slipped, Tripped And Fell In Love', 'I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home' and 'Somebody's On Your Case'. Out of print for years, with original editions fetching $150 or more from collectors.
