About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Nobody could belt it out like Ma Rainey, and here's a great collection that showcases it. All of the lady's biggest hits ("See See Rider," "Jealous Hearted Blues," "Black Cat, Hoot Owl Blues," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom") are here, and the sound is as good as one can expect from the old Paramount 78s, probably the worst-pressed discs of the 1920s. Still, Ma's ebullient personality comes through the hisses and pops and scratches loud and clear. An essential blues buy for the collection. Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Ma Rainey [Milestone]by Anonymous

October 22, 2007: In the mid-1970's, Milestone Records released a two-LP set, containing 32 tracks by "Ma" Rainey. It was considered to be the definitive re-issue of its day. When CD'S came along, and the LP went the way of the dinosaur, it was feared that this re-issue would be lost. Thankfully, this has not happened, with the release of this CD. This is a great disc! The sound is great, and the song selection couldn't be better. The list of accompanists reads like a Who's Who of jazz and blues. If there's one thing to regret, it is that there are only 24 tracks on the disc, instead of the 32 tracks, which were on the original LPS. While this disc does not contain her very first recordings, it covers her career quite well. I highly recommend it!
