Performer: Memphis Minnie
Producer: Michael Hendon (Compilation) Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Personnel: Memphis Minnie (vocals, guitar). Liner Note Author: Michael Hendon. Memphis Minnie was notable not only for making a name for herself in the almost exclusively male field of early country-blues singer/guitarists in the 1920s and '30s, but for her powerful, distinctive style of fingerpicking and her big, soulful voice. While some of her best-known tunes, like "When the Levee Breaks" and "Me and My Chauffer," are absent from HOODOO LADY, it still contains the cream of the crop from her mid-period (1933-37), pre-electric work, including the bold, brassy title track, which functions as something of a calling card for this larger-than-life blues legend.
While several women rose to fame as blues vocalists in the early 1930s, few succeeded as instrumentalists. Memphis Minnie was a notable exception. A forceful guitarist who once reportedly beat Big Bill Broonzy in a guitar picking contest, Memphis Minnie was also an accomplished vocalist.
