Description
Bob Corritore has recorded all of these wonderful women with great sensitivity to their stylistic individuality! Behold a collection of spectacular, female voices, which collectively demonstrate both the undeniable power and empowering vulnerability of the feminine voice. It surveys a wide geographic and stylistic spectrum . Featured vocalists include: Chicago Blues legend Koko Taylor, well known as the Queen Of The Blues; Phoenix soul/blues/gospel diva Francine Reed; vocal powerhouse Diunna Greenleaf from Houston Texas; the gentle wonderment of Tennessees rising Americana star Valerie June; Shy Perry whose deceptive name and stature deliver a powerhouse Wang Dang Doodle; and Aliya Primer, the daughter of Chicago blues great John Primer, with her very first recording done with great authority at age 17!
“It is such an incredible honor to be featured alongside so many of my role models in blues like Koko Taylor and Barbara Lynn. In listening to the music of Bob Corritore, listeners are greeted by a stellar musician who fearlessly shows respect for the elders on the musical path while lifting up new and younger artists like me.
His work is constantly bringing artists together, and the Women in Blues he’s chosen for this compilation are beyond deserving of this appreciation.”
Valerie June
