Don't mess with Texas women! Tell it girl <3

Phranc singing "Martina"

Ode to a Gym Teacher - Meg Christian

Not my favorite song, but there isn't much on youtube. This one at least shows pictures of her. There was a great song about when the revolution comes that i loved back in the day - "It Won't Take Long." i saw her many times. One of the few "women's musicians" i liked.

Lucille Bogan - B D Woman;s Blues

Came across this fantastic artist when I was listening to a few songs by Phranc who I had never heard of before Martin's post (as I said I was out of the loop for a good little while.) This song was recorded in 1935!!! Amazing! I'm including the lyics because I found parts of it hard to understand.

Comin' a time, B.D. women they ain't going to need no men
Comin' a time, B.D. women they ain't going to need no men
'Cause the way they treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin

B.D. women, you sure can't understand
B.D. women, you sure can't understand
They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man

B.D. women, they all done learned their plan
B.D. women, they all done learned their plan
They can lay their jive just like a natural man

B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff

B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
And when they get ready to spend it, they know they have to go

I was just listening to this today. I first heard it on a blues collection called Sissy Man Blues. This CD has many blues songs about taboo subjects, and more songs about gay men than women, but it does include a few that are seemingly about us, such as Two Old Maids in a Folding Bed.

Meg Christian and Holly Near were my introductions to Women's music.

makes me miss being held like this......

Butches on my mind tonight.
Smooches,

Diana Di Gioia intros Butch Daddy Blues

Bumping this thread to ask....

What is the best Catie Curtis album, if you wanted to see if you liked her and had never heard her before...?

More Ferron singing Girl On a Road. She played this at the last Michfest and we were all gutted.
