Barbara Pittman- Sun Records Originals: I Need A Man
Barbara Pittman's claim to fame is that she was the only female artist signed to Sam Phillips' Sun Records - other women recorded for the label, but only Pittman was given a contract. That alone would secure her place as a footnote in music history, but Pittman also cut one exalted rockabilly classic during her Sun years: "I Need a Man." This epic album of Barbara Pittman Sun essentials showcases her husky-voice and sultry style with tracks like "I Need A Man", "Handsome Man", and "Everlasting Love".
