"Female Blues Singers, Vol. 6: E/F/G (1922-1928)" (09/2000) Blues Various Artists, Document (USA)Full title: Female Blues Singers: Complete Recorded Works: Vol. 6 (1922-28). Personnel: Ruby Gowdy, Madam Hurd Fairfax, Betty Gray, Hattie Garland, Miss Frankie, Georgia Gorham, Lillian Goodner, Dorothy Everetts (vocals); Bob Fuller (alto saxophone); Bubber Miley (cornet); Eubie Blake, Andrades Lindsay, Mabel Horsey, Bill Pearson, Steve Lewis , Louis Hooper, Porter Grainger (piano). Audio Remasterer: Gerhard Wessely. Liner Note Author: Dr. David Evans . Recording information: Chicago, IL (??/??/1922-12/17/1928); N.Y.C., NY (??/??/1922-12/17/1928); New Orleans, LA (??/??/1922-12/17/1928). A wide variety of obscure singers have their entire and brief recording careers reissued on this CD, the sixth of 14 discs in this fascinating series. Included are two songs apiece by Dorothy Everetts, Madam Hurd Fairfax (who was really a semi-opera singer performing spirituals), Georgie Gorham, and Betty Gray, four songs by Miss Frankie (including two numbers in which she is backed by pianist Eubie Blake), three by Hattie Garland, six from Lillian Goodner (these are among the better selections including two numbers that have background work from cornetist Bubber Miley), three by Ruby Gowdy, and a lone performance by Cry Baby Godfrey. Styles range from vaudevillian to low-down blues, and, in general, the rarely-heard performances hold one's interest. ~ Scott Yanow

"Female Blues Singers, Vol. 1: A/B (1924-1932)" (03/14/1997) Blues Various Artists, Document (USA)Includes liner notes by David Evans. Personnel: Louise Anderson, Ora Alexander (vocals, accordion); Mildred Austin (vocals); Wingy Carpenter (cornet); James P. Johnson & his Orchestra (piano). Audio Remasterer: Gerhard Wessely. Liner Note Author: Dr. David Evans . Recording information: 10/24/1924-01/08/1932. This is the first of 14 CDs that the Austrian Document label has put out that includes the complete output of obscure classic blues singers from the 1920s/early '30s. In most cases, the vocalists only recorded a handful of sides, so these performances have eluded previous reissue programs. Vol. 1 has eight numbers by Ora Alexander (the high point of the disc), a lone number by Louise Anderson, four tunes featuring Mildred Austin, six from Baby Bonne (Ernestine Bomburyero), and four by Eloise Bennett. James P. Johnson might be the pianist on a few of the Ora Alexander numbers while cornetist Wingy Carpenter helps out on the Baby Bonnie selections. This is a very valuable series that classic blues collectors will certainly want to acquire. ~ Scott Yanow
