Thread Name: CHORDS: Kitchen Man (from Bessie Smith)
Subject: RE: Kitchen Man
There's a very inexpensive ($5 or $6) CD collection of Bessie Smith called "Bessie Smith" (brilliant, eh?) put out by TKO Records (I think they're Dutch)as their number UAE30502 in 1996. It has a rendition of Kitchen Man, and 16 other of her classics. Would be a good source, and cheap. This company has also put out collections of everyone from Big Bill Broonzy to Leadbelly to Gershwin (I have a nifty Glenn Miller playing right now). I picked it up in the cheapo bin at Caldor (a K-mart type discount chain in the northeast).
