I Can't Be Satisfied Vol. 2 Town

Stuart Jefferson | San Diego,Ca | 06/11/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Approximately 68 min. Remastered sound. This is the second volume of female singers from Yazoo Records from the 1920's,and is equal to the first. These tracks cover a more big-city sound of blues singing. The first volume had a rural feel to it. This album has a more sophisticated sound,both in the style of singing and the arrangements. The backing on these tracks is fleshed out with horns from small jazz combos and have an overall feel of almost a Louis Armstrong style. Singers relatively known like Victoria Spivey,Sippie Wallace,and Ma Rainey make a showing here. But others,like the fine Clara Smith and Bertha Hill also make an appearrance. The subject matter has not changed all that much from the first volume. Matters of the heart,money,and down and out times are all here. Taken together,these two volumes make up an important area of blues singing that doesn't receive a lot of attention. As I said about the first volume,if you don't own this,your blues library is incomplete. After listening to both of these fine volumes,you will agree."
