Search - Various Artists :: Every Woman's Blues: The Best Of The New Generation

This album is subtitled The Best of the New Generation, and with good reason. The liner notes read like a Who's Who of the current generation of female blues artists, from the deservedly famous Rory Block performing "Gone Woman Blues" to Lucinda Williams taking a bluesy turn (with Taj Mahal) on "Going Back Home." Debbie Davies, formerly a guitarist in Albert Collins's band, takes her turn with "Livin' on Lies," and Saffire (their full moniker is the Uppity Blues Women) get sassy with "Don't You Tell Me." These women have talent, style, and attitude to spare. As Liz Mandeville Greeson sings in her contribution to this album, "Look at this, look at this!" --Genevieve Williams
