I Need-A Plenty Grease In My Frying Pan
(roots and influences of vaudeville & rural blues: 1919-1940)
by Max Haymes

"Vaudeville Blues: 103 glorious tracks compiled by Max Haymes that examine the connections and influences that existed between vaudeville blues and the country blues legends of the 1920s and 1930s. However far the connections are proven, this features the amazing country blues music of Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell, Robert Wilkins, Sleepy John Estes, Willie Brown, Barbecue Bob, Texas Alexander, Memphis Jug Band, Sam Collins and more alongside lesser-known (to these ears anyway) but fabulous sides by Margaret Carter, Margaret Johnson, Edna Hicks, Mary Stafford, Ida May Mack, Essie Whitman, Virginia Liston and plenty more known and obscure artists. Rapidly becoming one of my favourite JSP sets, and I’ve only had it a few days".
