With Some
A San Francisco, Bill Graham and Columbia Records
encapsulated band, this information and the poster at the bottom of this post
will illustrate the type of musical company they kept and emulated. It’s bluesrock
in essence, with some country and some jazz and some funk, and led on all but
one track by the vocals of Anna Rizzo who is clearly in the Joplin lineage, but
though she tries to growl, for example on the Bessie Smith number Young Woman’s Blues, this isn’t her
natural voice and it is more uptempo Rita Coolidge, though fine enough for
that. Not the most memorable – there is so much stellar competition from the
time – but I’m listening now thus the quick appreciative if not overwhelmed
mention.
