Another #JukeboxFridayNight and another forerunner of later #RockAndRollDivas. Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, blues singer, sometime troublemaker, Memphis Minnie. And the route from her music to the beginnings of rock'n'roll are not hard to discern.

#WhenTheLeveeBreaks by #MemphisMinnie and #KansasJoeMcCoy. The #LedZeppelin version, while awesome and better-known, has overshadowed the original song recorded in 1929. Memphis Minnie is on lead guitar while Kansas Joe sings and plays rhythm guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5VmVvsjyKw

Little Son Joe - Black Rat Swing (1943)
Pseudoniem van Ernest Lawlers, toenmalig echtgenoot van Memphis Minnie. Alhoewel dit nummer op zijn naam staat is het Minnie die zingt. Zij speelt de eerste gitaar en hij begeleidt haar.
