It’s not often that dreams come true. In the case of the acoustic blues trio, Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women, that’s just what happened. Over the course of nine recordings and thousands of gigs, the group has gone from virtual obscurity to one of the most popular, witty, and just plain satisfying acoustic blues groups on the scene today. These women tear into their material with passion, dedication, and originality. Every song they cover becomes theirs, and their originals blend seamlessly with their interpretations. They are indeed the torchbearers for the original classic uppity blues women like Bessie Smith, Sippie Wallace and Victoria Spivey.

The members of Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women are: Gaye Adegbalola, Andra Faye, and Ann Rabson.

    Great stuff! Women playing some quality blues, really good.

    This is a cheerfully liberated and raunchy female group. They are decent musicians following in the footsteps of female blues giants such as Bessie Smith. OK, they are not in the same league as musicians, and they are significantly more feminist (Dirty Sheets, and the one about Pissing on the Skunk). However, they deliver enjoyably updated sexy songs - try "There's lightning in these Thunder Thighs", which suggests some interesting alternatives to conventional aerobic exercises. Good fun.
