{"product_id":"bessie-smith-bessie-smith-collection-1923-33","title":"Bessie Smith- Bessie Smith Collection 1923-33 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBessie Smith was not only the first significant female blues singer to emerge during the early electric recording era, but her influence and reputation is such that she is still rightly hailed as the most important and greatest female blues artist in the annals of the genre, rightly given the title \"The Empress Of The Blues\". Her recording career was compressed into the decade covered by this collection, her career being blighted by the Depression, although she was actively performing and expanding her audience when she was killed in a car crash in 1937. This excellent value 48-track 2-CD set is selected from the 160 recordings she made for Columbia, and does not duplicate any titles which appear on the Fabulous label's existing Bessie Smith 2-CD set \"Bessie Smith Greatest Hits\" (FADCD2004), and so the two together will give collectors around half of her entire recorded output, including some lesser known material alongside the famous classics. During her career, she recorded with eminent musicians of the day accompanying her and most of them are featured in this collection, including Louis Armstrong, Fletcher Henderson, James P. Johnson, Clarence Williams, Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden and Don Redman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeale Street Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps on A-Rainin (Papa He Can't Make No Time)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside of That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNobody in Town Can Bake a Jelly Roll Like My Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhoa, Tillie, Take Your Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Going Back to My Used to Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMistreatin' Daddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrosty Mornin' Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEavesdropper Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorrowful Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse Rent Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeeping Willow Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDying Gambler's Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReckless Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSobbin' Hearted Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold in Hand Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt Louis Blues 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCake Walkin' Babies 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ.C.
