First Lady Of The Blues

By George O'Leary TOP 500 REVIEWER on May 28, 2012

Format: Audio CD

If you don't know who Ma Rainey was, and went searching based upon something you heard or read and then stopped here, you don't need to search any further for a very good sampling of the recorded works of Gertrude Malissa Pridgett, born in 1886 and only THE pioneer female blues belter who paved the way for the likes of the legendary Bessie Smith, Lucille Bogan (aka Bessie Jackson) and all those who followed. If Ella Fitzgerald is immortalized as The First Lady of Song, then Ma Rainey (she took that name following her marriage to vaudevillian William "Pa" Rainey), is the unchallenged First Lady of The Blues.

Although her live performing career lasted longer (starting about 1913 through to 1934), she only recorded (on cylinder) from 1923 to 1928, most of it for Paramount, and in this fine offering from Snapper of the U.K., you get decent sound quality considering the age and techniques used at the time, and informative liner notes by Pat Harrison. The selections offered were recorded in 1923, 1926, 1927 and 1928 and include what many regard as her finest, including See See Rider Blues which became her only charted hit (there was no equivalent to the R&B charts back then), reaching # 14 Pop in February 1925 on Paramount 12252 b/w Jealous Hearted Blues. On the hit she was accompanied by Louis Armstrong on coronet and Fletcher Henderson on piano.

In addition to Armstrong and Henderson pother notable names in Blues providing back-up include guitarists Blind Blake and Tampa Red, trombonists Kid Ory and Charlie Green, banjo players Charlie Dixon, Papa Charlie Jackson (who also offers vocal support here and there), George W.Read more ›

Very hard to hear. Cd is from scratchy 78 rpm records.
