3 stars More of a Vaudevillian singer, then a Dixieland singer...
I prefer the blues, and Dixieland styles of the 20's, over the Vaudevillian, however Sophie Tucker is probably the best Vaudeville singer of her era, and this CD is an okay introduction to her music. Try Ma Rainey or Ida Cox, for blues vocalists of the 20's, and try Annette Hanshaw, a jazz singing flapper heiress of the 20's. Also one of the best Dixieland singers of today performs at most Dixieland festivals is Big Mama Sue who sings and plays washboard with banjo player Fast Eddie, visit them at bigmamasue.com
