LUE Musical seeds from the west coast of Africa germinated in the sun-baked cotton fields of a harsh

new land and continued to evolve in the social maelstrom of a country torn apart and rebuilt,

but what we know as the blues didn’t truly flower until the first fertile years of the twentieth

century. That was the dawn of the blues women. By giving a strong, heartfelt voice to emotions

and feelings that are common to all human beings, these powerful artists imbued their music

with a universal appeal that lives on today. This collection brings together a storied pantheon

of the most influential female voices in the history of this great American musical form. Enjoy!
