Cleaning House

Cleaning House (1996) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

Another generally likable album from Saffire, Cleaning House contains plenty of the bold, sassy material (e.g., "Hungry Woman's Blues," "If Love Hurts, You're Not Doing It Right," "Tomorrow Ain't Promised") listeners have come to expect from the band that half seriously, half tongue-in-cheek, bills itself as the Uppity Blues Women. All three women ...

Live and Uppity

Live and Uppity (1998) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

Saffire has been bringing their "uppity" brand of blues to stages from quite some time, and it was inevitable that a live album would rear its head sooner or later. But recording this one over a three-night stand at the Barns of Wolf Trap is a class-A affair all the way. With the ladies in top form, playing to an adoring audience cheering them on ...

Hot Flash

Hot Flash (1991) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

In many ways, Hot Flash is the definitive Saffire album. Racy and sassy -- and to some tastes cutesy -- the album is a fun, free-thinking update of classic female blues, performed with gusto and verve. The instrumentation is sparse -- a piano, guitar, bass, harmonica, and kazoo provide the foundation of the music -- but the focus of these songs is ...

The Uppity Blues Women

The Uppity Blues Women (1990) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

In 1984, three middle-aged women (guitarist Gaye Adegbalola, bassist Earlene Lewis and pianist Ann Rabson) came together to play blues as Saffire. Their 1990 Alligator CD is still Saffire's best all-around recording. Even overlooking the novelty of three women giving a female and middle-aged slant to the blues, this is a highly enjoyable and ...

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue (1994) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue finds Saffire's sound bordering on the formulaic. Songs like "Bitch with a Bad Attitude" and "There's Lighting in These Thunder Thighs" are simply too cutesy and too predictable -- but there is still plenty for their fans to treasure on the record.

Broadcasting

Broadcasting (1992) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

Between Hot Flash and Broadcasting, Saffire lost a bassist, but added a mandolinist, fiddler, organist, and electric guitarist, which gives Broadcasting a fuller, richer sound. Fortunately, that hasn't distracted attention from the bawdy, sassy vocals of Ann Rabson and Gaye Adegbalola, who still exhibit a raw, natural charisma. And the material -- ...

Ain't Gonna Hush

Ain't Gonna Hush (2001) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

The first studio album in five years from the band finds them for the most part, having a rocking good time and placing an emphasis on the boogie-woogie end of the blues. Instrumentally and vocally they keep getting better and better, with pianist Ann Rabson a particular standout for her vibrant keyboard work. While they live up to their image of ...

In a Family Way

In a Family Way (2005) more music like this

by Ann Rabson

While Ann Rabson has made a name for herself as a member of the popular blues trio, Saffire, it's quite a revelation to hear her solo. Whereas Saffire dazzles with multiple vocalists and the occasional risqué number, Rabson reveals herself as more than another revivalist jumping on the acoustic blues wagon. Sure, she can write within the tradition ...

Music Makin' Mama

Music Makin' Mama (1997) more music like this

by Ann Rabson

Music Makin' Mama starts with a bang and ends with a boogie -- the bang is Rabson's revved-up take on Huey "Piano" Smith's "Baby, Every Once in a While," and the boogie is a solo instrumental ode to two of her piano heroes, Jimmy Yancey and Meade Lux Lewis. Between these two end pieces, Rabson navigates through bluesy territory with her trademark ...

Deluxe Edition (2006) more music like this

by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women

There is plenty of fire in Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women, a trio of feisty multiracial middle-aged acoustic blues femmes who, rather surprisingly, were one of the top sellers from Alligator's male-dominated, plugged-in roster. This generous 20-track, 75-minute compilation collects highlights from the threesome's seven Alligator albums, ...

Struttin' My Stuff (2000) more music like this

by Ann Rabson

Blues historian and founding member of Saffire the Uppity Blues Women, Ann Rabson's second solo effort, Struttin My Stuff, finds her doing just that. She is unaccompanied on the majority of these 16 tracks, effortlessly switching between piano on seven tracks, guitar on three (including her first recorded attempt using electric guitar), and three ...
