Like I said, I'm glad he put this out there. I don't expect to listen to it much. I love me some Springsteen.

It may be cold where you are but the Linda Lindas are out here having fun in the warm California sun.

Totally due to scouring old jazz and blues from the Harlem Renaissance period, for which I rely on Spotify.

 

This stuff is bottomless. I have been listening to Gladys Bentley because beyond the interest in her being a committed cross-dresser in 1920s/30s New York she's an amazing singer and pianist; and Spotify recommended Merline Johnson.

From my superficial research she just seemed to vanish, but after leaving a mound of blues recordings. She's great and so is the condition of the re-mastered stuff.

She was known as the Yas Yas girl, yes as in get your yas yas out. An expression that predated the Stones, of course.
