All jokes aside, I'm a sucka for this type of music

it got shelved, her deal with her lable was off and nobody wanted to sign her for years.

they still try to shut her up.

I mean, didn't they see it coming when she recorded وين العرب وين ?

She's indeed a VOCAL person and I admire her for pulling the guts to record that,,,,both songs in fact. It needs to be said.

exactly. even her 1st ever release was called غابت شمس الحق

but as she kept getting more and more detailed in her lyrics, that's when she started to not sit well with the powers that be. such cowards

ps. her stings on these songs kill me:

Here's a few that would probably fit what you're looking for.


Skip James...



...22-20 Blues

Sometimes she gets unruly
An she act like she just don't wanna do
But I get my 22-20
I cut that woman half in two



Lonnie Johnson...



...Whoopee Blues

Undertaker been here and gone, I gave him your height and size
You be makin' whoopee with the Devil in Hell tomorrow night


Josie Miles...



...Mad Mama Blues

I took my big Winchester
Down off the shelf
When I get through shootin'
There won't be nobody left



Roy Brown...



...Butcher Pete (Parts 1 & 2)

The police put Pete in jail;
Yes, he finally met his faith;
But when they came to pay his bail;
They found him choppin' up his cellmate



Blind Willie McTell...



...A to Z Blues

I'm gonna cut your head four different ways baby
Long, short, deep and wide
When I get through spreadin' rhythm with this rusty black handle razor
You're gon be mapped out for an ambulance ride



Bessie Smith...



...I'm Wild About That Thing

Whats the matter Papa please don't stall
Don't you know I love it and I wants it all


Then there's all the Blowfly (aka Clarence Reid) releases.

...Prove It On Me

I went out last night with a crowd of my friends,

Wear my clothes just like a fan
Talk to the gals just like any old man
Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me
Sure got to prove it on me

♫ You've Got To Give Me Some ~ Bessie Smith ♫


Another by Memphis Minnie

♫ Down In The Alley ~ Memphis Minnie ♫





I met a man, asked me did I want to pally
Yes, baby, let's go down in the alley
Take me down in the alley
Take me down in the alley
Take me down the alley
And I'll git my business fixed all right

Well I met another man, asked me for a dollar
Might have heard that mutha fo'ya' holla
Let's go down in the alley
Let's go down in the alley
Take me down the alley
I git my business fixed all right

(Let's go)

When he got me in the alley, he called me a name
What I put on him was a crying shame
Down in this alley
Down in this alley
Down in this alley
Where I got my business fixed all right

You got me in the alley, don't get rough
I ain't gonna put up with that doggone stuff
Way down in this alley
Down in the alley
Got me down in the alley
Got my business fixed all right

(Ah, it's dark
Can't see no light
Got to feel my way, out this alley
I'm gonna stop, boys, walking late at night)

You took me in the alley, you knocked me down
Now I'm gonna call every copper in this town
You got me down in the alley
Way down in the alley
You got me down in the alley
Now you got your business
fixed all right

(Boy, I'm sho gonna stop working,
and walking.. late at night,'cause it's so dangerous, 'specially when you gotta go down the alley)
