This album is fabulous and is a must for any blues fan who enjoys listening to the real thing. Being from Chattanooga, the home of Bessie Smith, these ladies make me proud of the Blues Heritage of this town. One of my favorite cuts is "You'll Never Get Me Out Of Your Mind" written and sung by Anne Rabson. "Mr. Insurance Man" sung by Andra Faye makes me want to start selling policies. Gaye Adegoalola wrote and sings "Silver Beaver," one of my other favorites on the album. It makes you want to see it, pet it and and kiss it's cute little nose. There is something on this album for everyone. It's a must for the blues collector.

These are ladies I'd love to know. An excellent sense of humor and self, as well as a great repetoire of music.

Saw them perform in Annapolis, Md. They sang many of their new recordings, this cd is one of their best. When you have a party..... this is a must!

I first heard the Uppity Blues Women live at the Chicago Blues Festival in June of 1998. They were fun, talented, and very energetic. I came across this album last month and have been enjoying it ever since. The music is fresh, funny, and full of real blues flavor. These women have a good time making music, and it shows! A great album for road trips.

This is the first exposure I have had to the Uppity Blues Women and I love them. A good collection of songs you may have heard before and some very original music. A fun and thought provoking experience. Highly recommended.

Saffire is a wonderful blues group. Many, if not most, of the songs have been written by Gaye Adegbalola. Like any good blues, they range from incisive social commentary to just plain fun.

A must for any blues fan, and particularly for women who love the blues.

I am their big fan since I was a college student when I first heard their songs. I am glad this album is recorded in Wolf Trap, Virginia, where is my neighborhood and I visit there once in a while for great concerts. That makes me feel even closer and intimate to this live album.

All the songs are so good that I don't think yuou should skip any of them. And their energy is even pure and vivid in the live performance !!

This CD was given to me by a fabulous blues/boogie musician, and she sure knew what she liked here! This is a wonderful CD, with tunes you'll find yourself singing around the house (and sometimes just little snippets to annoy the men in your lives, ladies)! Love it!
