If you've never heard the Uppity Blues Women, you're in for a real treat. Their witty lyrics and no-nonsense musical talent make listening to them a delight. This was the first CD of theirs I heard, and I was hooked! Women, especially, will like their sassy, "Bitch with a bad attitude" style. Lyrically, they're up there with Bare Naked Ladies (or the other way around!). Highly recommended for all blues lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deb's Review, January 12, 2001

I heard "The Middle Aged Blues Boogie" on the radio and proceeded to my local music store...boy was I in for a surprise! If your new to the Blues then these women are for you! Sassy, Brassy, and full bodied attitude fill the lyrics with subjects you can identify with or just plain enjoy. Singing along and even playing along is fun. If you are the average mom and wife like me, then putting this on and crankin' it up really loud helps to make the household chores fun! Enjoy!!

This is the first Saffire album. I "discovered" the group in 1996, just before going to Bosnia, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Italy, and elsewhere. Throughout my travels, I had the music of Saffire with me everywhere.

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. Listen to the words, and not just to the music. These women are terrific!

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