It's all about Big Mama Thornton and Bessie Smith. Those two sang the hell outta some blues.

Oh... and how could I forget Janis?

Eryka is NOT a blues singer, that's for sure

Anita...Baker? She's not a blues singer at all

No, what I meant was, they could go that route, not that they are doing it now. U don't think Eryka's voice is kind of bluesey? Did U listen 2 her second album? The bag lady CD?

OK I give you that. Erykah could go blues for sure. (Bag lady is her only cd that I still haven't checked out). As for Anita, well, her voice is just too soothing to covey the intrinsic hurting of blues IMO.

I like Etta a lot smile



KoKo gets a mention too. "I'm a Woman" should be the official women's anthem smile She just reminds me so much of my grandma in this song.
