VARIOUS ARTISTS P-Vine PCD 3062 Blues Divas ● CD $24.98

24 tracks, 63 mins, recommended Fine collection of blues and R&B from seven excellent female singers who recorded for Modern and RPM between 1949 and 1956. The fine and ever popular Helen Humes is featured on four sides - two studio cuts including I Ain't In The Mood (the "answer" song to John Lee Hooker's I'm In the Mood) and two cuts live from The Blues Jubilee Concert with Roy Milton's Band in front of a very enthusiastic audience. There are two sides by the wonderful Little Esther from 1949 with Johnny Otis & His Orch including some hot guitar by hot guitar. There are two sides each by Zola Taylor (who later became a member of The Platters) and the obscure but excellent Linda Peters. There are six cuts from 1955 by the fine Dolly Cooper from 1955 with a hard driving band led by Maxwell Davis - half of her cuts are tough blues and the other half are bluesy doo-wop ballads like Teenage Prayer and Teen Age Wedding Bells no doubt aimed at the growing rock 'n roll audience. Donna Hightower is another fine singer whose material is divided between hard blues & R&B and more pop oriented material but all of it is very listenable and there's some hot guitar pickin' on He's My Baby.
