Unknown Contributor Roles: Henry Allen & His New York Orchestra; Clarence Williams & His Blue Moaners. Victoria Spivey, who made her initial reputation with dark and somewhat scary blues lyrics, altered her style during the period covered by this second of four "complete" Document CDs. She is heard in a series of double entendre songs (usually issued in two parts) with singer/guitarist Lonnie Johnson, including "New Black Snake Blues," "Toothache Blues," "Furniture Man Blues," and "You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now." Also, Spivey is heard with an all-star group led by pianist Clarence Williams (including cornetist King Oliver and guitarist Eddie Lang) that unfortunately does not get much space to stretch out; on two classic performances ("Funny Feathers" and "How Do You Do It that Way") on which she is joined by Louis Armstrong's Savoy Ballroom Five (with pianist Gene Anderson in Earl Hines' place); and guesting on two versions apiece of those same two songs with Henry "Red" Allen's Octet (which was really Luis Russell's Orchestra). Spivey, who was a strong singer from the start, is featured throughout in peak form, showing that she could not only sing blues but good-time jazz of the era. ~ Scott Yanow Producer: Johnny Parth; Johnny Parth (Compilation) Musical Guests Lonnie Johnson   Compilation Appearances Vol. 4-(1928-29) 1962-65 American Folk Blues Fe Vol. 2-Early American Women Bl Broke Black & Blue Chamber Music Dirty Blues Blues Sisters When The Sun Goes Down Secret History (Limited Edition) Blues 1925-1952 American Folk Blues Festival 1962-66 Ladies Sing The Blues Reefer Madness Sugar In My Bowl Century Of The Blues Late Night Blues Dirty Blues 2 Wild Women Blues Lost Blues Tapes Classic Piano Blues From Smithsonian   Associated Artists and Works Johnson, Lonnie Roosevelt Sykes Sykes, Roosevelt   Technical Info Release Date : 05/18/1995 Original Release Date : 2000 Catalog ID : 5317 Label : Document (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mono SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00714298531725    Related Videos This Time: Robert Cray Ballad Of John Henry Joe ...
