Once again, as in the Rosemary Rainey piece, Tia Carroll's vocal rendition is too modern day, lightweight and weak to be considered classic Ma Rainey blues, which were more heavy and raw, The Washboard Tub Jug Band musicians here are too "city slick," failing to capture that pre-war, rural feeling of the original band captured on Ma's Paramount Records 78 rpm recordings. Ma Rainey-"Dead Drunk Blues"---Gertrude Melissa Pridgett, you is da mother of all the blues dead or alive!!!

hmm... I'm listening to it now and I see what you're saying.

I was surprised to hear the radical change in Ma's voice, starting with the first version of Boweavil Blues, where she is a sweet mezzo-soprano, to her much later re-recording New Boweavil Blues, where Ma is now a heavy contralto and sounds like a man. Both Paramount 78 versions are significant, not only for the blues but in showing Ma's vocal and musical progression during her career as Mother of the Blues.

From PROVE IT ON ME BLUES
"Went out last night with a crowd of my friends, They must have been women, 'cause I don't like no men. It's true I wear a collar and a tie, Make the wind blow all the time They say I do it, ain't nobody caught me, Sure got to prove it on me. "
