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.

Cheap double CD best of. A delicate, slinky figure with a powerhouse voice, Ann Peebles occupied a special place among the many great talents that roamed the halls of Memphis' iconic R&amp;B label Hi Records in the 1960s and 1970s. While producer Willie Mitchell was the company's heart, musicians the Hodges Brothers its soul and Al Green its top star, it was Peebles who gave the label its first national success and a lasting female identity. Over the course of seven albums and dozens of singles for Hi, Peebles expressed a complex range of moods and emotions in her music. Her songs were alternately pleading ('I Needed Somebody') and defiant ('I Pity The Fool'), seductive ('Being Here With You') and destructive ('I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down') but always utterly soulful.
