Early-20c blues.
A compilation in place of original albums.
Proprer blues: racy words, despair, woman's strength, slow sleeping-pills tunes, raucous voice, and music that, to a 21st-century ear, tends to sound the same from track to track. Still a very interesting overview of Smith's work; good to discover one of the most famous lady blues. "I need a little sugar in my bowl" and "Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer" are some of the best tracks and these two titles alone tell you a lot about blues...
