Performer Notes

Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women: Gaye Adegbalola (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Ann Rabson (vocals, piano, kazoo, guitar); Andra Faye (vocals, bass, mandolin, fiddle, guitar).
Producers: Bruce Iglauer, Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women.
Recorded live at The Barns Of Wolf Trap, Vienna, Virginia on October 17-19, 1997.
Saffire has been bringing their "uppity" brand of blues to stages from quite some time, and it was inevitable that a live album would rear its head sooner or later. But recording this one over a three-night stand at the Barns of Wolf Trap is a class-A affair all the way. With the ladies in top form, playing to an adoring audience cheering them on with every line, there's a symbiosis happening on this recording between audience and performers that seldom gets captured on a live album. There's no point in listing highlights simply because every track is a winner, and while the group's strong feminist stance is off-putting to some blues fans, none of them were in the audience on the nights these recordings were made, that's for sure. ~ Cub Koda
