Raunchy African American women's blues. And apart from raunchiness - itself capable of inspiring violent reactions - much of the material here would have been fraught with danger. Any expression of independence carried with it the threat of a racist response.<br>

This is a celebration of lesser known singers, from the early blues era featuring an approximate CD's-worth by Clara Smith, Lucille Bogan, and Lil Johnson. A fourth, Moanin' Bernice Edwards has only 14 vocal sides to her name, so she's supplemented by four Texas Blueswomen: Hociel Thomas, Sippie Wallace, Bessie Tucker and Victoria Spivey. We cover rural, urban and vaudeville blues styles. <br>

What must be emphasised is that these women were transgressive in at least two ways. First, they dared to dominate at a time when women were expected to to be submissive. Second, in their celebration - albeit euphemistic - of sex they risked outraging the prudish majority.<br><br>
