Brown, Arelean – Sings the Blues in the Loop [CD]

Description

A commanding vocalist, Arelean had the power to sound both tough and tender, often within a single line. She wasn’t singing about the blues – she was living them, twisting everyday heartaches and hard-won wisdom into songs that shimmered with personality and pain. Her delivery was theatrical yet sincere, humorous yet harrowing. And like all great blueswomen before her – think Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, and Bessie Smith – she didn’t just perform, she testified. Fierce, funky, and full of fire, this long-lost 1977 treasure captures a powerhouse Chicago blueswoman at her raw, unfiltered best. Lovingly remastered and issued on CD for the very first time, this ultra-rare gem finally steps out of collector obscurity and into the spotlight it’s always deserved.
