| This is the earliest aurally documented form of the blues. The Classic Female Blues singers of the 1920s were the first to get on record and the first to have hits in the genre, subsequently reaching a national audience and starting the first great push in recording blues music of all styles. This strain generally features big-voiced female vocalists singing material with close connections to pop music of the period (mid-'20s to early '30s), using primarily jazz backings and giving even the most gutbucket of performances a more uptown air to them. The style of these women singers is loud, brassy, sassy, and assertive, with the occasional nascent feminist sentiment inserted into the lyrics. ~ Cub Koda | ||
