Bessie Smith Songbook,
This review is from: Bessie Smith Songbook (Paperback)
This is a good guide to learning some of Bessie Smith's best known songs, plus a concise but complete biography of this wonderful blues singer. The songs come with guitar chords for those who just want to do chords, notation for those of us who want to do more. I recommend it highly.

Nice to have a Bessie Smith songbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bessie Smith Songbook (Paperback)
I think this is the only Bessie Smith songbook available (though I'm sure you can find some of these songs in other places). The arrangements are good, though maybe a bit too simple.
My only complaint is some of the missing songs; "Sugar in My Bowl" is noticibly absent, as well as some other Bessie favorites.
