Everybody gets the blues but not everybody gets the blues the same. Women get some serious blues. Black women get some very serious blues. Bessie Smith maybe had the most deep and soulful blues anyone ever had: Crazy Blues, Down Hearted Blues, Careless Love Blues, Empty Bed Blues, Black Water Blues, Gulf Coast Blues, and St. Louis Blues, which also happens to be the title of her only known film appearance, as well as one of the earliest talkies in cinema history. See a transporting acapella performance from the film above. But you can hear many incredible, less-famous women of the blues appear in the this site playlist further up, in the company of more famous names like Bessie and Mamie Smith, Holiday, Joplin, Memphis Minnie, Ma Rainey, Etta James, and Dinah Washington. Blues hounds will likely recognize most, if not all, of these names.
