Houston-born blues singer, pianist, and songwriter Victoria Spivey (1906-1976) was one of the last of the red hot mamas. A popular classic blues artist of the late 1920s, she found her career revitalized in 1961 through an association with Prestige/Bluesville Records. She quickly became a one-woman revival, starting up her own label to record herself and countless others, including a young Bob Dylan. For this album, comprising ten Spivey originals about man/woman relationships, Queen Victoria was reunited on six selections with guitar master Lonnie Johnson, with whom she had first recorded in 1927.
