about

Between crudeness and despair, a few forgotten female blues singers.

First volume of three dedicated to the blues from the twenties, compiled and edited by Guy Marc Hinant.

If, out of these fourteen female singers recorded in the 1920's, some have managed to put food on the table for a while, none became famous or rich, and most remain completely unknown. What can be said about a singer whose entire work fits on a single-sided 78rpm record? (It makes me think of those antique authors of whom all we have are titles of work). What circumstances led to this recording? Who decided to do it? For whom was it intended? Why wasn't it followed by more recordings? Hypotheses get lost in places and times themselves forgotten. What remains are these miraculous voices. And us, here, finally able to listen to them, through hardships and deaths - these voices that have gone through these faraway eras that no one alive today has experienced. Let's not forget that most of these profoundly sincere or ferociously ironic blues were created during the dark years of the Great Depression. However, this selection does not constitute a theme-based anthology. We simply wanted to present a few little-known or forgotten female blues singers whose ambiguous leanings, double-entendres, and uncompromising crudeness had been censored by the propriety of these times ruled by sanctimonious prudishness and despicable segregation. Finally, we have focused on the darker, more personal trend, coarser and grittier than what was being performed in vaudevilles and medicine shows, a radically new form, or maybe an ancient one that had remained hidden from us for decades.

Lovely singing and great music. I can really feel the emotion behind each song and how it's sung. The mix of east and west sounds is very inspiring. Long before we had wars we had each others music and were drawn to the sound. The music is beautiful. VUKARI

I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin
