I've been waiting (and hoping) to find a multi-song vein of Jessie Mae Hemphill. Just look at the picture. Smoke in one hand, gun in the other. I'd like to think she's waiting to pick off Sheryl Crow should she cross the property line.
I bought her first Highwater single about 20 years ago in Memphis. I think it had just come out. It was the cover that sucked me in. Cowboy hat, tube top and bitchen guitar (a Silvertone?), in glorious black & white. Primitive? Hell yeah. It had raw written all over it.
5 cuts and background info here.
Thank you Diddy Wah.
