The third of four Document CDs that reissue all of the classic blues singer Sara Martin recordings (except for a few numbers with famous musicians that have been reissued elsewhere) has the bulk of her 1924-25 performances. Martin is heard in several different settings: duets with guitarist Sylvester Weaver, small group dates with Clarence Williams, duets with Williams or pianist Lemuel Fowler and backing by a violin-guitar-banjo trio. Sara Martin`s voice and emotional range grew gradually throughout the `20s and such numbers as "Got to Leave My Home Blues," "Some Blues," "I`d Rather Be Blue Than Green," "I Can Always Tell When a Man Is Treatin` Me Cool" and "Mournful Blues" are among the finest recordings of her career. ~ Scott Yanow
