Some of the finest versions of one or two of Memphis Minnie's songs - almost up to the level of the originals - were by the great British blues singer Jo-Ann Kelly. I saw her in London in the late '60s many times. She had a superb voice and was a good slide guitar player. Sister to the blues musician Dave Kelly. Alas, Jo-Ann dies from a brain tumour in, I think, 1987. A great loss.

Anyone know this recording ? Please let us know
what you think of the performances and if the disc is
worth acquiring???
Much as I like the work of Maria Muldaur, I think the only white person I've heard who captured the essence of African-American
blues VOCAL performance (particularly Memphis Minnie) was Jo Ann Kelly. The instrumental work of many blues revival performers of
all ethnicities is equal.
Other opinions welcome!
Best wishes, Thomas.

You might try Camsco. I think that might be where I bought my Memphis Minnie CD.

Typing "Memphis Minnie" into Amazon.com gave me 43 CD entries (including 5CD box set 1929-37", $26+postage). Amazon.co.uk gives   entries too, including the box set. So there are two sources. (All published sides also available as box set).
