Edith was one of the classic vaudeville blues singers, and this her September song, proves that there was plenty of the old hip-shakin'-strut yo' stuff happening with the old girl. Ikey Robinson's tasty guitar & banjo licks, along with Little Brother Montgomery's backroom piano, provide just the right funky groove for Miss Edith's vintage blues-chirping. I loved this album when it first came out in the 70's, and along with Alberta Hunter's late Columbia LP output, this is "must-have" material for aficionados of classic blues ladies.

I purchased this product as a gift for a friend. She was pleased with the gift but was disappointed because even though the titles of some of the songs were the same, they did not sound like the tunes she remembered. However, this seller came through with flying colors. Product was delivered in a timely manner and in good condition.

Edith is just your average background blues singer, like a zillion others, who happened to be hanging around the right guys at the right time and got a shot at solo recording. She had neither the repertoire or the vocal chops to ever be considered a true heavy.. and is, in fact, not considered so most critics. In short, I felt taken by getting this CD - sloppy charts poorly recorded by guys well past their prime and who barely had real credentials. They do have cool names - like "Little Brother Montgomery..." and when you read up the players in the sleeve it says stuff like they sometimes "sat in" with King Oliver! - come on...that's nothing like being a regular with King Oliver. But, on the plus side, I was VERY grateful to have bought Clara Smith at the same time - who IS the real deal. She's amazingly great, and worth twice what you'd pay here to have in your collection.
