Although there are absolutely no liner notes or recording information of any kind in this budget compilation, this is still a stripped-down collection of some of Smith's best work. Highlights include "St. Louis Blues," "Gimme a Pigfoot," "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "Empty Bed Blues," and "Careless Love." A good Bessie Smith starter kit. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi Read More
