Our Take

Sheila Collier's "A Tribute To Bessie Smith" is a toe-tapping, soul-stirring homage to the one and only Empress of the Blues. Collier, armed with her powerhouse vocals and a killer band, brings a fresh energy to the timeless classics that made Bessie Smith a legend.

From the first track, "Downhearted Blues," Collier's rich, velvety voice transports you to smoky jazz clubs of the past, where the music was raw, real, and full of emotion. She effortlessly channels the spirit of Bessie Smith, while adding her own modern twist to the songs.

The standout track on the album has to be "St. Louis Blues," where Collier's vocals soar over the bluesy guitar riffs and infectious piano melodies. You can't help but sway along to the rhythm and get lost in the storytelling lyrics that Bessie herself would be proud of.

Collier's tribute is more than just a cover album, it's a celebration of a musical icon who paved the way for future generations. Her passion for the blues shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of Bessie Smith and newcomers alike.

So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Sheila Collier take you on a journey through the heart and soul of the blues. Bessie would approve, no doubt about it.
