Description
Instead of a description, I will use quotes from the blog of our good friend @PopsCoffee - a man who has a great deal of knowledge in music theory. A connoisseur and admirer of the work of our favorite band, Tuba Skinny:
"Tell me honestly: did you know about Lucille Bogan, Mamie Smith, Merline Johnson, Memphis Minnie, Clara Smith and Hattie Hart before Tuba Skinny and other young bands from New Orleans revived some of their songs? I certainly didn't."
"So I have to thank Tuba Skinny and others for getting me to track down these great female performers (who were often also songwriters) from the 1920s and 1930s."
"Merline recorded from 1937 to 1947, usually in the company of some of the most famous blues musicians of the era. If you're a fan, you might be interested to know that it was from Merline Johnson that Tuba Skinny learned Got a Man in the 'Bama Mine, Sold It To The Devil and Running Down My Man. What a legacy from someone about whom little is known!"
So much for that. Enjoy the music.
