Audio Remasterer: Gerhard Wessely. Liner Note Author: Alan Balfour. Recording information: Chicago, IL (11/04/1925-01/22/1930); N.Y.C., NY (11/04/1925-01/22/1930); St. Louis, MO (11/04/1925-01/22/1930). Blue Girls, Vol. 2 (1928-1930) contains a selection of material from the obscure female blues singers Katherine McDavid, Margaret Thornton, Mozelle Alderson, Issie Ringgold and Mary Dixon. For specialists and academics, there is some interesting music here, but for anyone else, the exacting chronological sequencing, poor fidelity and uneven performances make this collection of marginal interest. ~ Thom Owens
