Our Take

Victoria Spivey may not be a household name like Beyonce or Adele, but her impact on the blues scene cannot be understated. The Victoria Spivey Collection 1926-1937 is a treasure trove of Spivey's soulful, gritty, and sassy tunes that showcase her raw talent and undeniable charisma.

From the infectious energy of "Black Snak Blues" to the haunting beauty of "Moaning the Blues," Spivey's powerful voice shines through each track, drawing listeners in with its captivating blend of vulnerability and strength.

The album is a journey through a turbulent time in American history, reflecting the struggles and triumphs of African Americans during the early 20th century. Spivey's lyrics are both poignant and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the realities of life as a black woman in a segregated society.

The production quality may not be crystal clear, but that only adds to the charm of the recordings, giving them an authentic, vintage feel that transports listeners back in time.

Overall, The Victoria Spivey Collection is a must-have for any blues enthusiast looking to delve into the rich history of the genre. Spivey's music may be nearly a century old, but its impact is timeless. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Victoria Spivey's soulful tunes transport you to a bygone era of blues brilliance.
