“Wild About That Thing - Ladies Sing the Blues was a compilation made for Delmark’s 50th anniversary. All in all, a great introduction to Delmark’s women.
Blue Chicago is the name of one of the finest blues clubs in Chicago. Blue Chicago has been presenting Chicago’s world-class blues artistry for many years. One of the unique aspects of the club is that women singers are part of the performances almost every night. This CD, Women of Blue Chicago, features Chicago’s best women of the blues.
Delmark’s offers three historical releases – one of masters from Apollo Records, and one each by Edith Wilson and Bonnie Lee. From the Apollo Series, Blu Lu, Wee Bea, Baby Dee – Don’t You Feel My Leg (subtitled “Apollo’s Lady Blues Singers”) At fifteen, Edith Wilson became the third black woman to make phonograph records and has since spent many long and productive years in the entertainment field. Her record is He May Be Your Man…. With a career that has The Real Deal features new Sharon Lewis original songs and a few covers of songs she often performs in her live shows like Van Morrison’s 'Crazy Love' and Bill Withers’ 'Ain’t No Sunshine'. Zora Young and Grana Louiseexplore the international flavor of blues. Most of the musicians on Zora’s album The French Connection come from France and it was recorded there.
Two recordings each by Big Time Sarah and Shirley Johnson are featured for Women’s History Month. From Big Time Sarah – A Million Of You has five new songs Sarah collaborated on with songwriter William Bolden and arranger/guitarist Rico McFarland, and Blues in the Year One D One picks up where Big Time Sarah’s debut CD on Delmark, Lay It On’Em Girls left off. Killer Diller is Shirley Johnson’s American debut CD. Almost all of the 14 songs on Shirley’s Blues Attack are new original compositions by various musicians on the CD along with two great covers of classics 'Unchain My Heart' and '634-5789'." ~ Julia A.
