Recently, Yazoo added another women's blues CD to its 2000 series: Various Artists 'Barrelhouse Mamas: Born in the Alley Raised Up in the Slum' Yazoo 2044. These are 1920s and 1930s recordings of women blues singers accompanied by barrelhouse blues pianists. Those featured include Ivy Smith, Ida May Mack, Dorothy Baker, Lil Johnson, St Louis Bessie etc.
