MEMPHIS MINNIE - Can't Afford To Lose M Man - 78 rpm High Quality

Recorded in 1941. She has a very powerful voice. Unsure about who's plaing bass.
My first transfer after restoring the turntable, Thorens TD 124, and replacing the tonearm. Sound is somewhat improved.

That was more than "Okeh".

[@MaunoAumanen-zk3jh]

What a strong voice❤❤❤❤

[@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53]

Yes I agree!

[@alanestlin312]

Wow superb performance

[@gedsoft3793]

You have a fine 78 there, of the Queen, thanks for sharing.
Chicago 21 May 1941, Okeh C-3371-1.
Minnie, vocals and lead guitar of course.
Ernest "Lil Son Joe" Lawlers, husband #3, rhythm guitar ("play it Sonny Joe").
String bass uncredited as usual. Maybe Bill Settles, but as likely Ransom Knowling, John Lindsay, Alfred Elkins, ... so often missing in the surviving studio notes.
Classic Minnie "Catch you messin' with my man I'll punch you in your nose" 🤣🤣🤣

This good stuff is finding its way to my feed. Awesome! When was this? I'm thinking the 1920's. Thanks!

[@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53]

good for you! no this is later, 1941. Believe she started recording in 1928 or 1929.

[@FishBait-ug6ek]

[@gerwynevans2729]

Can she be considered the "mother of the blues?" You betcha!

[@Funkit891]

But she doesn't know who's the daddy.
