Really nice to pull this out of the stacks, Female Country Blues Singers (1929-1931), SFC call number FC9785. Alura Mack, whose entire recorded output sadly makes up only 13 songs, was a legendarily bawdy blues pianist. “Beef Blood Blues” is perhaps the most macabre of all of her cuts, a sharp change in mood from uproariously immoral ditties such as “Loose Like That,” “Everybody’s Man is Mine,” and “I’m Busy, You Can’t Come In.” Check out the track below–a fittingly grim one for the worst day of the week.
